move_charge_at_immigrate feature is disabled by default. Charges
are moved only when you move mm->owner and it also add additional
overhead.

That's hardly a fast path. And if it happens to matter, it will be just bigger when you enable it, and the compiler start giving the wrong hints to the code.
