Subject: [PATCH RFC] mm/hugetlb_cgroup: Add huge_page_order check to avoid incorrectly uncharge

From: Wanpeng Li <liwp@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Against linux-next:

Function alloc_huge_page will call hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup
to charge pages, the compound page have less than 3 pages will not
charge to hugetlb cgroup. When alloc_huge_page fails it will call
hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_cgroup to uncharge pages, however,
hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_cgroup doesn't have huge_page_order check.
That means it will uncharge pages even if the compound page have less
than 3 pages. Add huge_page_order check to avoid this incorrectly
uncharge.
