In set_max_huge_pages(), min_count should mean the acquired persistent
huge pages, but it contains surplus huge pages. It will leads to failing
to freeing free huge pages for a Node.
Steps to reproduce:
1) create 5 huge pages in Node 0
2) run a program to use all the huge pages
3) create 5 huge pages in Node 1
4) echo 0 > nr_hugepages for Node 1 to free the huge pages
The result:
Node 0 Node 1
Total 5 5
Free 0 5
Surp 5 5
