The patch titled

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: 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 page_counter_try_charge has failed then it
seems it does not initialize counter, so
hugetlb_cgroup_from_counter(counter) ends up pointing to random memory,
causing kasan to complain.
Solution, 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.
