  Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

Testcase:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define PAGES_TO_TEST 1
#define PAGE_SIZE	4096

int main(void)
{
	char *mem;

	mem = mmap(NULL, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE,
			PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);

	if (madvise(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_HWPOISON) == -1)
		return -1;

	munmap(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE);

	return 0;
}

There is one page reference count for default empty zero page,
madvise_hwpoison add another one by get_user_pages_fast.  memory_hwpoison
reduce one page reference count since it's a non LRU page.
unpoison_memory release the last page reference count and free empty zero
page to buddy system which is not correct since empty zero page has
PG_reserved flag.  This patch fix it by don't reduce the page reference
count under 1 against empty zero page.
