When I did memory failure tests recently, below panic occurs:

The root cause is that HWPoison flag will be set for huge_zero_page without increasing the page refcnt. But then unpoison_memory() will decrease the page refcnt unexpectly as it appears like a successfully hwpoisoned page leading to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0) when releasing huge_zero_page.
Fix this issue by marking huge_zero_page reserved. So unpoison_memory() will skip this page. This will make it consistent with ZERO_PAGE case too.
