arm64 can take an NMI-like error notification when user-space steps in some corrupt memory. APEI's GHES code will call memory_failure_queue() to schedule the recovery work. We then return to user-space, possibly taking the fault again. Currently the arch code unconditionally signals user-space from this path, so we don't get stuck in this loop, but the affected process never benefits from memory_failure()s recovery work. To fix this we need to know the recovery work will run before we get back to user-space. Increase the priority of the recovery work by scheduling it on the system_highpri_wq, then try to bump the current task off this CPU so that the recover work starts immediately.
