I do not like the duplication. It just calls for inconsistencies over
time. Can we instead make %*pbl consume NULL nodemask instead?
Something like the following pseudo patch + the if/else removed.
If this would be possible we could simplify other code as well I think
(at least oom code has to special case NULL nodemask).

What do you think?
