I am not really sure this is worth it. After the merge window I plan to
post http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211214100732.26335-1-mhocko@kernel.org.
With that in place we can drop the check and a node rewrite so the net
result will be a less and more straightforward code. If you agree I can
add this with your s-o-b into my series:
