memcontrol: only transfer the memcg data for migration

For most migration use cases, only transfer the memcg data from the old
folio to the new folio, and clear the old folio's memcg data.  No charging
and uncharging will be done.

This shaves off some work on the migration path, and avoids the temporary
double charging of a folio during its migration.

The only exception is replace_page_cache_folio(), which will use the old
mem_cgroup_migrate() (now renamed to mem_cgroup_replace_folio).  In that
context, the isolation of the old page isn't quite as thorough as with
migration, so we cannot use our new implementation directly.

This patch is the result of the following discussion on the new hugetlb
memcg accounting behavior:
