mm: fix memory leak in copy_huge_pmd()
We allocate a pgtable but do not attach it to anything if the PMD is in a DAX VMA, causing it to leak. We certainly try to not free pgtables associated with the huge zero page if the zero page is in a DAX VMA, so I think this is the right solution. This needs to be properly audited.
