memcg: fix destination cgroup leak on task charges migration
We are supposed to take one css reference per each memory page and per each swap entry accounted to a memory cgroup. However, during task charges migration we take a reference to the destination cgroup twice per each swap entry: first in mem_cgroup_do_precharge()->try_charge() and then in mem_cgroup_move_swap_account(), permanently leaking the destination cgroup. The hunk taking the second reference seems to be a leftover from the pre-00501b531c472 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API") era. Remove it to fix the leak.
