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.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: use NODEMASK_FREE, per Minchan Kim]
