I agree with you.

It  looks like hwpoison_filter_flags() in particular needs a stable page
in order to retrieve

a wholesome KPF_ flags set that at any time, although the flags could
change immediately

afterwards, they won't be torn flags. For that, it looks like the folio
should be locked as well.
