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.
