Oh, hey, look, memory management people and storage people have
their own ideas about "general" code.  Storage people have been using
string_get_size() for a while.  It feels a bit over-engineered to me,
but since we already have it, we should use it.

Subject: [PATCH] Replace memfmt with string_get_size

The hugetlb code has its own function to report human-readable sizes.
Convert it to use the shared string_get_size function.  This will lead
to a minor difference in user visible output (MiB/GiB instead of MB/GB),
but some would argue that's desirable anyway.
