The code flow doesn't really lend itself to nesting. It's basically
three steps: validate input, clear the old page, commit the new page.

void mem_cgroup_migrate(struct page *oldpage, struct page *newpage)
{
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked(oldpage), oldpage);
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked(newpage), newpage);
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageLRU(oldpage), oldpage);
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageLRU(newpage), newpage);
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageAnon(oldpage) != PageAnon(newpage), newpage);
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTransHuge(oldpage) != PageTransHuge(newpage),
newpage);

if (mem_cgroup_disabled())
return;

/* Re-entrant migration: old page already uncharged? */
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(oldpage);
if (!PageCgroupUsed(pc))
return;

VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!(pc->flags & PCG_MEM), oldpage);
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(do_swap_account && !(pc->flags & PCG_MEMSW), oldpage);

pc->flags = 0;
commit_charge(newpage, pc->mem_cgroup, false);
}

void mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(struct page *oldpage, struct page *newpage)
{
struct page_cgroup *pc;
int isolated;

VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked(oldpage), oldpage);
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked(newpage), newpage);

if (mem_cgroup_disabled())
return;

/* New page already charged? */
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(newpage);
if (PageCgroupUsed(pc))
return;

pc = lookup_page_cgroup(oldpage);

VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!(pc->flags & PCG_MEM), oldpage);
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(do_swap_account && !(pc->flags & PCG_MEMSW), oldpage);

lock_page_lru(oldpage, &isolated);
pc->flags = 0;
unlock_page_lru(oldpage, isolated);

commit_charge(newpage, pc->mem_cgroup, true);
}

Only the call to commit_charge() is the same and there is a little bit
of overlap in the VM_BUG_ON_PAGEs... I'd rather have a single migrate
function, because it's so small that the code is simpler than nesting
and/or duplicating multiple functions.
