userfaultfd: hugetlbfs: reserve count on error in __mcopy_atomic_hugetlb
If __mcopy_atomic_hugetlb exits with an error, put_page will be called if a huge page was allocated and needs to be freed. If a reservation was associated with the huge page, the PagePrivate flag will be set. Clear PagePrivate before calling put_page/free_huge_page so that the global reservation count is not incremented.
