hugetlb: fix uninitialized subpool pointer
Gerald Schaefer reported a panic on s390 in hugepage_subpool_put_pages()
with linux-next 5.12.0-20210222.
Call trace:
hugepage_subpool_put_pages.part.0+0x2c/0x138

This is a result of the change which moved the hugetlb page subpool
pointer from page->private to page[1]->private. When new pages are
allocated from the buddy allocator, the private field of the head
page will be cleared, but the private field of subpages is not modified.
Therefore, old values may remain.
Fix by initializing hugetlb page subpool pointer in prep_new_huge_page().
