I still think the guards are pretty much the same as before, sorry:)

Yes but that doesn't affect the ooo prune guards at all, they only check
rmem_alloc and neither sk_rmem_schedule() nor __sk_mem_schedule
change that. Also the two callers are the same too in their checks.

But why not repeat the whole prune for all cases in this case then?

e.g. you should probably at least repeat the third step (setting
pred_flags to 0) too.
