[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] eal/linuxapp: fix resource leak

Fix issue reported by Coverity.
Coverity ID 97920

munmap structure of hugepage

leaked_storage: Variable hugepage going out of scope leaks the storage
it points to.

The system resource will not be reclaimed and reused, reducing the future
availability of the resource.

In rte_eal_hugepage_init: Leak of memory or pointers to system resources

Fixes: b6a468ad41d5 ("memory: add --socket-mem option")
