I think it could, but not with minor changes.
vma_has_reserves is mostly the negation of the vma_needs_reservation,
but not exactly (consider that vma(VM_NORESERVE) does not have nor
need any reservation.)

Could you add more detailed comment on top of the function for better
maintenability? What is the expected behavior, or what is the returned
values for each case with what reasons?
And this function is not a simple reserve checker any more, but it can
change reservation maps, so it would be nice to give more suitable name,
though I don't have any good suggestions.

It would be nice if we can get resv_map from vma in a single function for
VM_MAYSHARE, so can you add it on vma_resv_map?

It seems that this fixes the subpool accounting, so worth separating to
another patch or writing on the description.
