vm: fix incorrect unlock error path in madvise_free_huge_pmd 

Commit b8d3c4c300 ("mm/huge_memory.c: don't split THP page when
MADV_FREE syscall is called") introduced this new function, but got the
error handling for when pmd_trans_huge_lock() fails wrong.  In the
failure case, the lock has not been taken, and we should not unlock on
the way out.
