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.

Thanks, Minchan!

PS: Btw, people sometimes refer to commits by hashes from trees other
than Linus's, so it's nice to include the subject as well:

       01b1ae6 memcg: simple migration handling

You get this easily by taking the first line of

       git show --oneline <commithash>

though there are probably other ways.
I forgot adding the name with old comment's copy & paste. I will
resend with fixing some typo.

Thanks.
