mm/hugetlb: fix gigantic page initialization/allocation

Attempting to preallocate 1G gigantic huge pages at boot time with
"hugepagesz=1G hugepages=1" on the kernel command line will prevent
booting with the following:

kernel BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:1218!

When mapcount accounting was reworked, the setting of compound_mapcount_ptr
in prep_compound_gigantic_page was overlooked.  As a result, the validation
of mapcount in free_huge_page fails.

The "BUG_ON" checks in free_huge_page were also changed to "VM_BUG_ON_PAGE"
to assist with debugging.

Fixes: af5642a8af ("mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping
of THPs")
