Please break long lines. (checkpatch.pl should have warned you)

Better use VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() instead while at it.

z = (GFP_ZONE_TABLE >> (bit * GFP_ZONES_SHIFT)) &
((1 << GFP_ZONES_SHIFT) - 1);
- VM_BUG_ON((GFP_ZONE_BAD >> bit) & 1);

Unrelated whitespace change.

return z;
}

But I don't see why we would want this change? It's not like the kernel would crash when calculating z.

Or is there some change in behavior I am missing?
