I guess the function is named wrongly. I will rename it to
mem_cgroup_have_hugetlb_usage() in the next iteration ? The function
will return (bool) 1 if it has any hugetlb resource usage.

Can you explain this ?. for_each_hstate allows to iterate over
different hstates. But here we need to look at different hugepage
rescounter in memcg. I can still use for_each_hstate() and find the
hstate index (h - hstates) and use that to index memcg rescounter
array. But that would make it more complex ?
