Subject: [patch 06/12] mm: memcontrol: simplify move precharge function

The move precharge function does some baroque things: it tries raw
res_counter charging of the entire amount first, and then falls back
to a loop of one-by-one charges, with checks for pending signals and
cond_resched() batching.

Just use mem_cgroup_try_charge() without __GFP_WAIT for the first bulk
charge attempt.  In the one-by-one loop, remove the signal check (this
is already checked in try_charge), and simply call cond_resched()
after every charge - it's not that expensive.
