Subject: mm: memcontrol: fold mem_cgroup_start_move()/mem_cgroup_end_move()
Having these functions and their documentation split out and somewhere
makes it harder, not easier, to follow what's going on.
Inline them directly where charge moving is prepared and finished, and put
an explanation right next to it.
