selftests/mm: restore default nr_hugepages value via exit trap in hugetlb_reparenting_test.sh

The test modifies nr_hugepages during execution and restores it from
cleanup() and again reconfigure it setup, which is invoked multiple times
across test flow.  This can lead to repeated allocation/freeing of
hugepages.

With set -e, failures in cleanup (e.g., rmdir/umount) can also cause early
exit before restoring the original value at the end.

Move restoration of the original nr_hugepages value to a trap handler
registered for EXIT, INT, and TERM signals so it is always restored on all
exit paths.  This also avoids unnecessary allocation churn across repeated
cleanup/setup cycles.
