Johannes Weiner 3fba69a56e mm: memcontrol: drop @compound parameter from memcg charging API
The memcg charging API carries a boolean @compound parameter that tells
whether the page we're dealing with is a hugepage.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() has another boolean @lrucare that indicates
whether the page needs LRU locking or not while charging.  The majority of
callsites know those parameters at compile time, which results in a lot of
naked "false, false" argument lists.  This makes for cryptic code and is a
breeding ground for subtle mistakes.

Thankfully, the huge page state can be inferred from the page itself and
doesn't need to be passed along.  This is safe because charging completes
before the page is published and somebody may split it.

Simplify the callsites by removing @compound, and let memcg infer the
state by using hpage_nr_pages() unconditionally.  That function does
PageTransHuge() to identify huge pages, which also helpfully asserts that
nobody passes in tail pages by accident.

The following patches will introduce a new charging API, best not to carry
over unnecessary weight.
