What I mean is that maybe node/global helpers should assume page granularity,
and lruvec/memcg helpers do the check is they should convert from bytes to pages
when calling node/global helpers. Then there would be no extra branches in
node/global helpers. But maybe it's not worth saving those branches, dunno.

Yeah, that's what I managed to overlook, sorry.
