Subject: [PATCH] memcg: clean up migration

This patch cleans up unncessary BUG_ON check and confusing
charge variable.

That's because 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.

And mem_cgroup_prepare_migratio return 0 if only it is successful.
Otherwise, it jumps to unlock label to clean up so BUG_ON(charge)
isn;t meaningless.
