Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: charge folios to the target mm's memcg

HugeTLB folios are currently charged to the memcg of the allocating task.
This gives the wrong result when a userfaultfd handler populates a HugeTLB
VMA that belongs to another process.  The UFFDIO_COPY ioctl operates on
the userfaultfd context's mm, but get_mem_cgroup_from_current() charges
the folio to the handler's memcg instead.

This can be reproduced by placing the faulting process and its userfaultfd
handler in different memory cgroups.  Have the target process register a
HugeTLB mapping with userfaultfd, trigger a missing fault, and let the
handler resolve it with UFFDIO_COPY.  The hugepage usage is then reported
in the handler's memory.current instead of the target's.

The generic userfaultfd population path avoids this problem by charging
folios to dst_vma->vm_mm.

Pass the target mm through hugetlb_alloc_folio() and charge the folio by
using get_mem_cgroup_from_mm().  This preserves the existing charge timing
and error handling while making HugeTLB userfaultfd population consistent
with the generic path.
