Instead of ifdefing full body of the helpers, can we have two sets of
these helpres defined for CONFIG_PAGE_REPORTING and for
!CONFIG_PAGE_REPORTING cases?

Or can we get all this working with IS_ENABLED() instead of #ifdef?

How is it not racy wrt page_reporting_fill()? Do we hold zone->lock or
something?

Looks like a usage error. Maybe WARN_ON()?

Again, it's from "something went horribly wrong" category.
Maybe WARN_ON()?

Could you comment here on why this size of array is allocated?
The calculation is not obvious to a reader.
