Subject: [PATCH 2/2] memcg: remove charge variable in unmap_and_move

memcg charge/uncharge could be handled by mem_cgroup_[prepare/end]
migration itself so charge local variable in unmap_and_move lost the role
since we introduced 01b1ae63c2.

In addition, the variable name is not good like below.

int unmap_and_move()
{
	charge = mem_cgroup_prepare_migration(xxx);
	..
		BUG_ON(charge); <-- BUG if it is charged?
		..
uncharge:
		if (!charge)    <-- why do we have to uncharge !charge?
			mem_group_end_migration(xxx);
	..
}

So let's remove unnecessary and confusing variable.
