mm: hwpoison: drop lru_add_drain_all() in __soft_offline_page()
A race condition starts to be visible in recent mmotm, where a PG_hwpoison
flag is set on a migration source page *before* it's back in buddy page
poo= l.
This is problematic because no page flag is supposed to be set when
freeing (see __free_one_page().) So the user-visible effect of this race
is that it could trigger the BUG_ON() when soft-offlining is called.
The root cause is that we call lru_add_drain_all() to make sure that the
page is in buddy, but that doesn't work because this function just
schedule= s a work item and doesn't wait its completion.
drain_all_pages() does drainin= g directly, so simply dropping
lru_add_drain_all() solves this problem.
