[PATCH 1/2] memcgroup: tidy up mem_cgroup_charge_common

[Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>]

Tidy up mem_cgroup_charge_common before extending it.  Adjust some
comments, but mainly clean up its loop: I've an aversion to loops
full of continues, then a break or a goto at the bottom.  And the
is_atomic test should be on the __GFP_WAIT bit, not GFP_ATOMIC bits.
