HWPOISON: add page flags filter
When specified, only poison pages if ((page_flags & mask) == value).
- corrupt-filter-flags-mask
- corrupt-filter-flags-value
This allows stress testing of many kinds of pages.
Strictly speaking, the buddy pages requires taking zone lock, to avoid
setting PG_hwpoison on a "was buddy but now allocated to someone" page.
However we can just do nothing because we set PG_locked in the beginning,
this prevents the page allocator from allocating it to someone. (It will
BUG() on the unexpected PG_locked, which is fine for hwpoison testing.)
[AK: Add select PROC_PAGE_MONITOR to satisfy dependency]
