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.
