memcg: mem_cgroup_charge never NULL
My memcgroup patch to fix hang with shmem/tmpfs added NULL page handling to mem_cgroup_charge_common. It seemed convenient at the time, but hard to justify now: there's a perfectly appropriate swappage to charge and uncharge instead, this is not on any hot path through shmem_getpage, and no performance hit was observed from the slight extra overhead. So revert that NULL page handling from mem_cgroup_charge_common; and make it clearer by bringing page_cgroup_assign_new_page_cgroup into its body - that was a helper I found more of a hindrance to understanding.
