mm: hugetlb: initialize PG_reserved for tail pages of gigantic compound pages

Commit 11feeb49 ("kvm: optimize away THP checks in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") introduced a memory leak when KVM is run on gigantic
compound pages.

That commit depends on the assumption that PG_reserved is identical for
all head and tail pages of a compound page.  So that if get_user_pages
returns a tail page, we don't need to check the head page in order to
know if we deal with a reserved page that requires different
refcounting.

The assumption that PG_reserved is the same for head and tail pages is
certainly correct for THP and regular hugepages, but gigantic hugepages
allocated through bootmem don't clear the PG_reserved on the tail pages
(the clearing of PG_reserved is done later only if the gigantic hugepage
is freed).

This patch corrects the gigantic compound page initialization so that we
can retain the optimization in 11feeb49.  The cacheline was already
modified in order to set PG_tail so this won't affect the boot time of
large memory systems.
