No strong opinion to keep or remove it.

I don't have a strong opinion either to have the dump_page() called either before action or after action, it just moves around the dumped page information around that printk.
For unpoison_memory(), I think it is harmless to have dump_page() called, right? If get_hwpoison_page() can't return -EIO, then the dump_page() won't be called at all, if it is possible then this is exactly why we call dump_page() to help debug.
So IMHO calling dump_page() in get_any_page when -EIO is returned could work for all the cases well and avoid duplicating the call.
