Subject: mm,hugetlb: drop clearing of flag from prep_new_huge_page

Pages allocated via the page allocator or CMA get its private field
cleared by means of post_alloc_hook().

Pages allocated during boot, that is directly from the memblock allocator,
get cleared by
paging_init()->..->memmap_init_zone->..->__init_single_page() before any
memblock allocation.

Based on this ground, let us remove the clearing of the flag from
prep_new_huge_page() as it is not needed.  This was a leftover from
6c0371490140 ("hugetlb: convert PageHugeFreed to HPageFreed flag"). 
Previously the explicit clearing was necessary because compound
allocations do not get this initialization (see prep_compound_page).
