HWPoisonHandlable() sometimes returns false for typical user pages due
to races with average memory events like transfers over LRU lists.  This
causes failures in hwpoison handling.

There's retry code for such a case but does not work because the retry
loop reaches the retry limit too quickly before the page settles down to
handlable state.  Let get_any_page() call shake_page() to fix it.
