[PATCH 1/3] arm64: hugetlb: Fix huge_pte_offset to return poisoned page table entries

When memory failure is enabled, a poisoned hugepage pte is marked as a
swap entry. huge_pte_offset() does not return the poisoned page table
entries when it encounters PUD/PMD hugepages.

This behaviour of huge_pte_offset() leads to error such as below when
munmap is called on poisoned hugepages.

[  344.165544] mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd 000000083af00074.

Fix huge_pte_offset() to return the poisoned pte which is then
appropriately handled by the generic layer code.
