Are you okay with this one?

Yes, just maybe delete the comment:

If you wanted a useful comment here, I think a description of
what is running at the same time would be good. But otherwise,
I'd just delete the entire comment, because a micro-comment
about "&" is not really worth the vertical space here IMHO.

-       int __mt = get_pageblock_migratetype(page);
-       int mt = __READ_ONCE(__mt);
-
-       if (mt == MIGRATE_CMA || mt == MIGRATE_ISOLATE)
+       if (mt & (MIGRATE_ISOLATE | MIGRATE_CMA))
                 return false;
  #endif


Anyway, I'm comfortable with this now:
