There seems to be no pfmemalloc() function.
Perhaps change it to something like below as the comment in
page_is_pfmemalloc():
Used to check if the current page in page_frag cache is allocated from the
pfmemalloc reserves.

It is used to replace the the below direct access of 'page_frag_cache':
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.11/source/net/sched/em_meta.c#L585
Each one of 'page_frag_cache' instance has its own allocation context
to ensure lockless access, it is not encouraged to access 'page_frag_cache'
directly outside of the allocation context as the accessing is unreliable.
