You're right, that refactor doesn't belong in patch 2.

I'll use your version in v3, keep your From: and Signed-off-by, and make
patch 1 a pure refactor patch that adds page_counter_margin() and
converts mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages() to use it.

Patch 2 will only keep the functional folio_alloc_swap()/memcg charge
changes.
