Are you sure?

But each of the call sites is doing this, so at least the complexity is
now seen in only one place.

btw, do we need to do the test that way?  Why won't this work?

#define for_each_populated_zone_pgdat(zone, pgdat, max) \
	for (zone = pgdat->node_zones;                  \
	     zone < pgdat->node_zones + max;            \
	     zone++)                                    \
		if (populated_zone(zone))

I suspect it was done the original way in order to save a tabstop,
which is no longer needed.
