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.

=== Error log ===

  Hugepagesize:     524288 kB
  Hugetlb:         5242880 kB

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