It's actually not 'try_to_' anymore, is it? But could be, see below.

can_steal is only used once, why not do if (can_steal_freepages()) directly?

Or, call can_steal_freepages() from try_to_steal_freepages() and make
try_to_steal_freepages() return its result. Then here it simplifies to:

if (!try_to_steal_freepages(...) && is_migrate_cma(...))
	buddy_type = migratetype;
