I'd suggest

"
Usually, do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status() are used in
combination. We have three similar call sites.

Let's provide a wrapper for both function calls -
move_pages_and_store_status - to make the calling code easier to
maintain and fix (as noted by Yang Shi, the return value handling of
do_move_pages_to_node() has a flaw).

return store_status(status, start, node, nr);

directly



Apart from that (and some more indentation nits)
