mm/hugetlb.c: fix error-path memory leak in nr_hugepages_store_common()
The NODEMASK_ALLOC macro may dynamically allocate memory for its second argument ('nodes_allowed' in this context). In nr_hugepages_store_common() we may abort early if strict_strtoul() fails, but in that case we do not free the memory already allocated to 'nodes_allowed', causing a memory leak. This patch closes the leak by freeing the memory in the error path.
