Since this is the only place mas_wr_store_prealloc() is called and the
first two things it does is the same as the if() statement above, then
both calls can be moved outside of the if() statement.  That also means
the helper function is somewhat small, which makes it seem like it's
probably not worth having?  Maybe I missed something though?
