mm/hugetlb: fix memfd_pin_folios resv_huge_pages leak

memfd_pin_folios followed by unpin_folios leaves resv_huge_pages elevated
if the pages were not already faulted in.  During a normal page fault,
resv_huge_pages is consumed here:

hugetlb_fault()
  alloc_hugetlb_folio()
    dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma()
      dequeue_hugetlb_folio_nodemask()
        dequeue_hugetlb_folio_node_exact()
          free_huge_pages--
      resv_huge_pages--

During memfd_pin_folios, the page is created by calling
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask instead of alloc_hugetlb_folio, and
resv_huge_pages is not modified:

memfd_alloc_folio()
  alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask()
    dequeue_hugetlb_folio_nodemask()
      dequeue_hugetlb_folio_node_exact()
        free_huge_pages--

alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask has other callers that must not modify
resv_huge_pages.  Therefore, to fix, define an alternate version of
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask for this call site that adjusts
resv_huge_pages.
