It only takes that path if cpuset_do_page_mem_spread() is true.  Is the
real problem that you're trying to solve that cpusets are being used
incorrectly?

Backing up, it seems like you want to make a change to the page cache,
you've had a long discussion with people who aren't the page cache
maintainer, and you all understand the pros and cons of everything,
and here you are dumping a solution on me without talking to me, even
though I was at Plumbers, you didn't find me to tell me I needed to go
to your talk.

So you haven't explained a damned thing to me, and I'm annoyed at you.
Do better.  Starting with your cover letter.
