Subject: mm/huge_memory: move memcg switch into the file split helper
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 23:32:44 +0200

The xarray node allocations in __folio_freeze_split_file() need to be
charged to the folio's memcg, so move the memcg switch from
__folio_split() into the helper.

The anon split helper and the after-split folio freeing perform no
chargeable allocations, so no memcg handling is left in __folio_split(). 
Rename its out_no_memcg label to out.
