Subject: mm: Avoid putting a bad page back on the LRU v8
References: 415829
Acked-by: schwab@suse.de
Patch-mainline: not yet

Prevent a page with a physical memory error from being placed back
on the LRU.  A new page flag (PG_memerror) is added if
CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED is defined.  

Version 8 change:  Removed hot path check for pages with memory
errors on the free list.
