[PATCH 6.18.y 6/6] mm/huge_memory: use folio's memcg inside __folio_split()

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>

[ Upstream commit c299a2285d9d8bda4da024455de65e3d00de6f17 ]

Patch series "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to
folio's memcg", v3.

__GFP_ACCOUNT is needed for xarray node allocation accounting when
XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT is set. Commit 7b785645e8f13 ("mm: fix page cache
convergence regression") fixed a workingset regression with it.
xas_split_alloc() does not have it and needs to be fixed.

In addition, based on Sashiko's review[1] and Johannes' confirmation[2], to
charge the right memcg, folio's memcg needs to be active during folio
split. Add that before adding __GFP_ACCOUNT.

There is no workingset convergence regression related to missing
__GFP_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and the impact to userspace should be
minor.

This patch (of 2):

During a pagecache folio split, an xarray node allocation can happen and
needs to charge at folio's memcg instead of folio split invoker's memcg,
because for example folio split can happen during reclaim and reclaim's
active memcg might not be folio's memcg.  Switch to folio's memcg at the
beginning and switch back afterwards.
