This adds necessary charge/uncharge calls in the HugeTLB code
This begs for more description...
Other than that it looks correct.
Updated as below

    hugetlb: add charge/uncharge calls for HugeTLB alloc/free
    
    This adds necessary charge/uncharge calls in the HugeTLB code. We do
    memcg charge in page alloc and uncharge in compound page destructor.
    We also need to ignore HugeTLB pages in __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common
    because that get called from delete_from_page_cache
and from mem_cgroup_end_migration used during soft_offline_page.

Btw., while looking at mem_cgroup_end_migration, I have noticed that you
need to take care of mem_cgroup_prepare_migration as well otherwise the
page would get charged as a normal (shmem) page.
Won't we skip HugeTLB pages in migrate ?
Yes but we still migrate for memory failure (see soft_offline_page).
check_range do check for is_vm_hugetlb_page.
