introduce helper mem_cgroup_zoneinfo_zone(). This will make
mem_cgroup_iter() code more compact.
I dunno. Helpers are usually nice but this one adds more code then it
removes. It also doesn't help the generated code.

So I don't see any reason to merge it.
So should we drop it from mmotm?
Yes, please.

This helper adds no value, but more code and indirection.

Cc'd Andrew - this is about
mm-memcontrolc-introduce-helper-mem_cgroup_zoneinfo_zone.patch
mm-memcontrolc-introduce-helper-mem_cgroup_zoneinfo_zone-checkpatch-fixes.patch
The patch seemed rather nice to me.  mem_cgroup_zoneinfo_zone()
encapsulates a particular concept and gives it a name.  That's better
than splattering the logic into callsites.

The patch makes no change to code size but that's because gcc is silly.
Mark mem_cgroup_zoneinfo_zone() as noinline and the patch shrinks
.text by 40 bytes.
