Would this be simpler as ...

	BUILD_BUG_ON(PGSTEAL_DIRECT - PGSTEAL_KSWAPD !=
			PGDEMOTE_DIRECT - PGDEMOTE_KSWAPD);
	BUILD_BUG_ON(PGSTEAL_DIRECT - PGSTEAL_KSWAPD !=
			PGSCAN_DIRECT - PGSCAN_KSWAPD);
	BUILD_BUG_ON(PGSTEAL_KHUGEPAGED - PGSTEAL_KSWAPD !=
			PGDEMOTE_KHUGEPAGED - PGDEMOTE_KSWAPD);
	BUILD_BUG_ON(PGSTEAL_KHUGEPAGED - PGSTEAL_KSWAPD !=
			PGSCAN_KHUGEPAGED - PGDEMOTE_KSWAPD);

	if (current_is_kswapd())
		return 0;
	if (current_is_khugepaged())
		return PGSTEAL_KHUGEPAGED - PGSTEAL_KSWAPD;
	return PGSTEAL_DIRECT - PGSTEAL_KSWAPD;

Not that I think we'd ever want to separate them, but it is perhaps a
bit less magic?
