[PATCH v5 02/14] selftests/mm: fix hugetlb pathname construction in charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh

The charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh script assumes hugetlb cgroup memory
interface file names use the "<size>MB" format
(e.g. hugetlb.1024MB.current).
This assumption breaks on systems with larger huge pages such as 1GB,
where the kernel exposes normalized units:
hugetlb.1GB.current
hugetlb.1GB.max
hugetlb.1GB.rsvd.max
...

As a result, the script attempts to access files like
hugetlb.1024MB.current, which do not exist when the kernel reports the
size in GB.

Normalize the huge page size and construct the pathname using the
appropriate unit (MB or GB), matching the hugetlb controller naming.

Fixes: 209376ed2a84 ("selftests/vm: make charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh work with existing cgroup setting")
Fixes: 29750f71a9b4 ("hugetlb_cgroup: add hugetlb_cgroup reservation tests")
