Replace ENOTSUPP with EOPNOTSUPP.  If hugepages are not supported, this
value is propagated to userspace.  EOPNOTSUPP is part of uapi and is
widely supported by libc libraries.

It gives nicer message to user, rather than:

  # cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
  cat: /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages: Unknown error 524

And also LTP's proc01 test was failing because this ret code (524)
was unexpected:

  proc01      1  TFAIL  :  proc01.c:396: read failed: /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages: errno=???(524): Unknown error 524
  proc01      2  TFAIL  :  proc01.c:396: read failed: /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages_mempolicy: errno=???(524): Unknown error 524
  proc01      3  TFAIL  :  proc01.c:396: read failed: /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages: errno=???(524): Unknown error 524
