mm/memory-failure: fix VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(page)) when unpoison memory

When I did memory failure tests, below panic occurs:

page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(page))

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Kernel Offset: 0x31c00000 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffffbfffffff)
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---

The root cause is that unpoison_memory() tries to check the PG_HWPoison
flags of an uninitialized page. So VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(page)) is
triggered. This can be reproduced by below steps:

1.Offline memory block:

echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory12/state

2.Get offlined memory pfn:

page-types -b n -rlN

3.Write pfn to unpoison-pfn

echo <pfn> > /sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/unpoison-pfn

This scenario can be identified by pfn_to_online_page() returning NULL.
And ZONE_DEVICE pages are never expected, so we can simply fail if
pfn_to_online_page() == NULL to fix the bug.
