Nothing is visibly broken without this patch, even with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC (tested on top of v5.0-rc2), but the patch still
looks correct.

I'd prefer the 'if' block to be before the whole delta/size calculation,
to make the code slightly more readable because the delta and size
calculations stay in one visual block. It doesn't need to happen after
delta is calculated.

tentatively,
