It would be a little clearer if you used wording more like this:

Subject: [Patch v3] mm/page_alloc.c: use NODE_MASK_NONE in build_zonelists()

Slightly simplify the code by initializing user_mask with
NODE_MASK_NONE, instead of later calling nodes_clear(). This saves
a line of code.

Honestly, I don't think it's really worth doing a patch for this, but
there's nothing wrong with the diff, so:
