In the existing code we used a different array name for the DMA caches.
This is a similar situation.

I would suggest to use

kmalloc_reclaimable_caches[]

or make it consistent by folding the DMA caches into the array too (but
then note the issues below).

This is a hotpath reserved for regular allocations. The reclaimable slabs
need to be handled like the DMA slabs.  So check for GFP_DMA plus the
reclaimable flags.

Same situation here and additional times below.
