Yes, sounds better :-)

This is an unchangelogged cleanup. In fact, there had been a comment
regarding it before v6, but then it got lost. Sorry about that. The
commit message should look like this:

"""
Hwpoison allows to filter pages by memory cgroup ino. Currently, it
calls try_get_mem_cgroup_from_page to obtain the cgroup from a page and
then its ino using cgroup_ino, but now we have a helper method for that,
page_cgroup_ino, so use it instead.

This patch also loosens the hwpoison memcg filter dependency rules - it
makes it depend on CONFIG_MEMCG instead of CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP, because
hwpoison memcg filter does not require anything (nor it used to) from
CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP side.
"""

Or we can simply revert this cleanups if you don't like it:
