I see that this got applied, and that doesn't change the semantics of
the code. But surely the code is and was buggy, right? From the kernel
doc, I'm pretty sure the idea is to subtract cm->available if cpudown is
true, otherwise subtract 0, i.e.

  return m->global_available - (cpudown ? cm->available : 0);
