Subject: [patch 02/11] mm: swapfile: clean up unuse_pte race handling

The conditional mem_cgroup_cancel_charge_swapin() is a leftover from
when the function would continue to reestablish the page even after
mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() failed.  After 85d9fc8 "memcg: fix
refcnt handling at swapoff", the condition is always true when this
code is reached.
