Two sites in mm/hugetlb.c allocate a hugetlb folio via
alloc_hugetlb_folio() (consuming a VMA reservation) and then call
copy_user_large_folio(), which became int-returning in commit 1cb9dc4b475c
("mm: hwpoison: support recovery from HugePage copy-on-write faults") and
can now fail (e.g.  -EHWPOISON on a hwpoisoned source page).  On the
failure path, folio_put() restores the global hugetlb pool count through
free_huge_folio(), but the per-VMA reservation map entry is left marked
consumed:

  - hugetlb_mfill_atomic_pte() resubmission path (UFFDIO_COPY)
  - copy_hugetlb_page_range() fork-time CoW path when
    hugetlb_try_dup_anon_rmap() fails (rare: pinned hugetlb anon
    folio under fork)

User-visible effect: on UFFDIO_COPY into a private hugetlb VMA where the
resubmission copy fails, the reservation for that address is leaked from
the VMA's reserve map.  A subsequent fault at the same address takes the
no-reservation path, and under hugetlb pool pressure the task is SIGBUSed
at an address it had previously reserved.  The fork-time CoW path leaks
the same way in the child VMA's reserve map, though it requires the much
rarer combination of pinned hugetlb anon page + hwpoisoned source.

Add the missing restore_reserve_on_error() call before folio_put() on both
error paths.
