selftests: mm: protection_keys: save/restore nr_hugepages value from launch script
The save/restore of nr_hugepages was added to the test itself by using the atexit() functionality. But it is broken as parent exits after creating child. Hence calling the atexit() function early. That's not it. The child exits after creating its child and so on. The parent cannot wait to get the termination status for its children as it'll keep on holding the resources until the new pkey allocation fails. It is impossible to wait for exits of all the grand and great grand children. Hence the restoring of nr_hugepages value from parent is wrong. Let's save/restore the nr_hugepages settings in the launch script instead of doing it in the test.
