I think this is compounding a previous problem in these functions: these 
are all "if" clauses, not "else if" clauses so they are presumably ordered 
based on least significant to most significant (we only see the last 
bad_reason that we find).  For the page->mem_cgroup check, this leaves 
bad_flags set but it doesn't match bad_reason.

Could you instead fix the problem with these functions so that we actually 
list *all* the problems with the page rather than only the last 
conditional that is true?
