mm: memcontrol: fold mem_cgroup_do_charge()

These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally
with the lifetime of user pages.  This drastically simplifies the code
and reduces charging and uncharging overhead.  The most expensive part
of charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is
removed entirely after this series.

Here are the top-10 profile entries of a stress test that reads a 128G
sparse file on a freshly booted box, without even a dedicated cgroup
(i.e. executing in the root memcg).  Before:

     1.62%              cat  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] __pagevec_lru_add_fn

After:

    15.67%           cat  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] copy_user_generic_string
    13.48%           cat  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] memset
    11.42%           cat  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] do_mpage_readpage
     3.98%           cat  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] get_page_from_freelist
     2.46%           cat  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] put_page
     2.13%       kswapd0  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] shrink_page_list
     1.88%           cat  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] __radix_tree_lookup
     1.67%           cat  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] __pagevec_lru_add_fn
     1.39%       kswapd0  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] free_pcppages_bulk
     1.30%           cat  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] kfree

As you can see, the memcg footprint has shrunk quite a bit.

This patch (of 13):

This function was split out because mem_cgroup_try_charge() got too big.
But having essentially one sequence of operations arbitrarily split in
half is not good for reworking the code.  Fold it back in.
