Subject: [PATCH] selftests/mm/charge_reserved_hugetlb: drop mount size for
hugetlbfs
charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh mounts a hugetlbfs instance at /mnt/huge with a
fixed size of 256M. On systems with large base hugepages (e.g. 512MB),
this is smaller than a single hugepage, so the hugetlbfs mount ends up
with zero capacity (often visible as size=0 in mount output).
As a result, write_to_hugetlbfs fails with ENOMEM and the test can hang
waiting for progress.

Drop the mount args with 'size=256M', so the filesystem capacity is sufficient
regardless of HugeTLB page size.
