Compaction uses compact_lock_irqsave(), which currently operates on a raw spinlock_t pointer so it can be used for both zone->lock and lruvec->lru_lock. Since zone lock operations are now wrapped, compact_lock_irqsave() can no longer directly operate on a spinlock_t when the lock belongs to a zone. Split the helper into compact_zone_lock_irqsave() and compact_lruvec_lock_irqsave(), duplicating the small amount of shared logic. As there are only two call sites and both statically know the lock type, this avoids introducing additional abstraction or runtime dispatch in the compaction path. No functional change intended.

Nit. Why don't you keep the indentation?
My impression based on below output is that mm code prefer indenting
__acquires().
$ git grep __acquires mm
mm/compaction.c:__acquires(&zone->_lock)
mm/compaction.c:__acquires(&lruvec->lru_lock)
mm/khugepaged.c: __acquires(&khugepaged_mm_lock)
mm/userfaultfd.c: __acquires(ptl1)
mm/userfaultfd.c: __acquires(ptl2)
Thanks,
SJ
