[PATCH v6 01/14] selftests/mm: restore default nr_hugepages value via exit trap in charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh

[Sayali Patil]

cleanup() resets nr_hugepages to 0 on every invocation, while the test
reconfigures it again in the next iteration. This leads to repeated
allocation and freeing of large numbers of hugepages, especially when
the original value is high.

Additionally, with set -e, failures in earlier cleanup steps (e.g.,
rmdir or umount returning EBUSY while background activity is still
ongoing) can cause the script to exit before restoring the original
value, leaving the system in a modified state.

Introduce a trap on EXIT, INT, and TERM to restore the original
nr_hugepages value once at script termination. This avoids
unnecessary allocation churn and ensures the original value
is reliably restored on all exit paths.
