On failing to migrate a page, soft_offline_huge_page() performs the
necessary update to the hugepage ref-count. When
!hugepage_migration_supported() , unmap_and_move_hugepage() also
decrements the page ref-count for the hugepage. The combined behaviour
leaves the ref-count in an inconsistent state.

This leads to soft lockups when running the overcommitted hugepage test
from mce-tests suite.

Address this by changing the putback_active_hugepage() in
soft_offline_huge_page() to putback_movable_pages().

Changes since v1:
* Added stable tag

* Updated patch to use putback_movable_pages() in
  soft_offline_huge_page() in place of dropping
  putback_active_hugepage() when hugepage migration is not enabled.

This patch was tested on v4.12-rc2 with the series to enable memory
corruption handling[0].
