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.
