It's an equivalent change - it's just really misleading because the
+++ lines are not the counter-part of the --- lines here!

There are two vmpressure calls in this function: one against the
individual cgroups, and one against the tree. The diff puts them
adjacent here, but the counter-part for the --- lines is here:

And the counter-part to the +++ lines is further up (beginning of the
quoted diff).
