IMHO, this makes the code less readable. Using single generic function with
generic check is easier, then using two different checks for different places.
Next a person, who will modify the logic, does not have to think about particulars
of strange checks in list_lru_add() and memcg_drain_list_lru_node(), if he/she
does not involved in the change of maps logic. Memory cgroup is already fell
into many corner cases, let's do not introduce them in new places.
