hugetlb_cgroup: fix illegal access to memory
This appears to be a mistake in commit faced7e0806cf ("mm: hugetlb controller for cgroups v2"). Essentially that commit does a hugetlb_cgroup_from_counter assuming that page_counter_try_charge has initialized counter. But if that has failed then it seems will not initialize counter, so hugetlb_cgroup_from_counter(counter) ends up pointing to random memory, causing kasan to complain. The solution is to simply use 'h_cg', instead of hugetlb_cgroup_from_counter(counter), since that is a reference to the hugetlb_cgroup anyway. After this change kasan ceases to complain.
