Ah I see! This is a bit subtle indeed.

For the hugetlb controller, it looks like they update the cgroup info
inside move_hugetlb_state(), which calls hugetlb_cgroup_migrate()
to transfer the hugetlb cgroup info to the destination folio.

Perhaps we can do something analogous here.

We can create a variant of mem_cgroup_migrate that does not double
charge, but instead just copy the mem_cgroup information to the new
folio, and then clear that info from the old folio. That way the memory
usage counters are untouched.

Somebody with more expertise on migration should fact check me
of course :)
