Somebody had the same idea with the helper:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YOKsC75kJfCZwySD@elver.google.com
and Matthew didn't like the _unlikely() prefix.
Which meant we should just move the existing helper introduced in the
merge window.
Patch 1/2: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210705103229.8505-2-yee.lee@mediatek.com
