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.
