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.
