The .error_remove_folio a_ops is used by different filesystems to handle
folio truncation upon discovery of a memory failure in the memory
associated with the given folio.

Currently, MF_DELAYED is treated as an error, causing "Failed to punch
page" to be written to the console. MF_DELAYED is then relayed to the
caller of truncate_error_folio() as MF_FAILED. This further causes
memory_failure() to return -EBUSY, which then always causes a SIGBUS.

This is also implies that regardless of whether the thread's memory
corruption kill policy is PR_MCE_KILL_EARLY or PR_MCE_KILL_LATE, a
memory failure with MF_DELAYED will always cause a SIGBUS.

Update truncate_error_folio() to return MF_DELAYED to the caller if the
.error_remove_folio() callback reports MF_DELAYED.
