uml: fix mm_context memory leak
[ Spotted by Miklos ] Fix a memory leak in init_new_context. The struct page ** buffer allocated for install_special_mapping was never recorded, and thus leaked when the mm_struct was freed. Fix it by saving the pointer in mm_context_t and freeing it in arch_exit_mmap.
