From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: memcontrol: eliminate redundant check in __mem_cgroup_insert_exceeded() The mz->usage_in_excess >= mz_node->usage_in_excess check is exactly the else case of mz->usage_in_excess < mz_node->usage_in_excess. So we could replace else if (mz->usage_in_excess >= mz_node->usage_in_excess) with else equally. Also drop the comment which doesn't really explain much.
