I did that.

Subject: mm/page-flags: define HWPoison test-and-change helpers unconditionally
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 13:35:34 +0800

Page flag helpers for configuration-dependent flags provide false or no-op
variants so that their users can be independent of the configuration.

The HWPoison helpers do not fully follow this pattern.  When
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE is enabled, PAGEFLAG() and TESTSCFLAG() provide the
regular, test-and-set, and test-and-clear operations.  When it is
disabled, only PAGEFLAG_FALSE() is instantiated, leaving
TestSetPageHWPoison() and TestClearPageHWPoison() undefined.

Use TESTSCFLAG_FALSE() to provide the missing accessors when memory
failure handling is disabled.  Both accessors return false, which is
consistent with HWPoison state being unavailable, and makes the accessor
interface consistent across configurations.

Also remove now-unneeded test_and_clear_pmem_poison() from nvdimm/pmem.
