If unpoison_memory() fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag, return value ret
is expected to be -EBUSY.  But when get_hwpoison_page() returns 1 and
fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag due to races, return value will be
unexpected 1 leading to users being confused.  And there's a code smell
that the variable "ret" is used not only to save the return value of
unpoison_memory(), but also the return value from get_hwpoison_page().
Make a further cleanup by using another auto-variable solely to save the
return value of get_hwpoison_page() as suggested by Naoya.
