This has still the part which is misleading in the global oom context.
So no, it seems that a helper will not do much good. Unless we can
squeeze everything into a single like like David proposed
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1805211405300.41872@chino.kir.corp.google.com)
we should simply open code the relevant part of in the global oom path.
