No need to initialize, you assign it unconditionally below.

It's also a bit unfortunate that the parameter/variable with this
meaning appears under a whole bunch of different names.  page_size,
charge_size, and now charge.  Could you stick with page_size?

Why is LRU isolation preventing the splitting?

I think we need the compound lock to get a stable read, like
compound_trans_order() does.
