It should be fixed in next version.

This check is specific for kernel_sendpage(), so I want to place it
closer to where kernel_sendpage() is declared.

And indeed there was similar discussion about why this helper is not in
mm code in v5 series. Christoph supported to place sendpage_ok() in
net.h, an uncompleted piece of his opinion was "It is not a mm bug, it
is a networking quirk."

Thanks.
