memory leak in alloc_huge_page

[Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com>]

Hello,

The following program leaks memory:

// autogenerated by syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller)
#include <syscall.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdint.h>

#define SYS_mlock2 325

int main()
{
        syscall(SYS_mmap, 0x20000000ul, 0x1000ul, 0x3ul, 0x45031ul,
0xfffffffffffffffful, 0x0ul);
        syscall(SYS_mlock2, 0x20000000ul, 0x1000ul, 0x1ul, 0, 0, 0);
        return 0;
}

If this program run in a loop number of objects in kmalloc-32 slab
indeed grows infinitely.

On commit 31ade3b83e1821da5fbb2f11b5b3d4ab2ec39db8 (Nov 29).

There seems to be another leak if nrg is not NULL on this path, but
it's not what happens in my case since the WARNING does not fire.
Still something to fix:
