[PATCH v4 07/15] selftests/mm: free dynamically allocated PMD-sized buffers in split_huge_page_test

[Sayali Patil <sayalip@linux.ibm.com>]

Dynamically allocated buffers of PMD size for file-backed
THP operations (file_buf1 and file_buf2) were not freed on
the success path and some failure paths. Since the
function is called repeatedly in a loop for each split order,
this can cause significant memory leaks.

On architectures with large PMD sizes, repeated leaks
could exhaust system memory and trigger the OOM killer
during test execution.

Ensure all allocated buffers are freed to maintain
stable repeated test runs.

Fixes: 035a112e5fd5 ("selftests/mm: make file-backed THP split work by writing PMD size data")
