Subject: mm/migrate_device: fix pgtable leak in migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page

When migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page() jumps to unlock_abort due to a PMD
check failure, the pgtable allocated earlier via pte_alloc_one() is never
freed, causing a memory leak.

Add a pte_free() call in the unlock_abort error path to release the
pgtable before returning.
