The root cause is that HWPoison flag will be set for huge_zero_folio
without increasing the folio refcnt.  But then unpoison_memory() will
decrease the folio refcnt unexpectedly as it appears like a successfully
hwpoisoned folio leading to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0) when
releasing huge_zero_folio.

Skip unpoisoning huge_zero_folio in unpoison_memory() to fix this issue. 
We're not prepared to unpoison huge_zero_folio yet.
