Any clean up is better than nothing. I still think that split up and
making the 2 functions explicit would be better but I do not think this
is really that important.

OK. If you had an _idx variant then you wouldn't need to add that
VM_BUG_ON at every single place where you use it as an index and do not
risk that future calls would forget about VM_BUG_ON.
