hugetlb: fix resv_map leak in error path

When called for anonymous (non-shared) mappings, hugetlb_reserve_pages()
does a resv_map_alloc().  It depends on code in hugetlbfs's
vm_ops->close() to release that allocation.

However, in the mmap() failure path, we do a plain unmap_region() without
the remove_vma() which actually calls vm_ops->close().

This is a decent fix.  This leak could get reintroduced if new code (say,
after hugetlb_reserve_pages() in hugetlbfs_file_mmap()) decides to return
an error.  But, I think it would have to unroll the reservation anyway.

Christoph's test case:

This patch applies to 3.4 and later.  A version for earlier kernels is at
