Hmm, no. This will mark the test as failed when a write to
memory.reclaim returns zero even when wb_enabled is true.

It's not the same because when wb_enabled == true we consider
ret == 0 or ret == -EAGAIN as success, while with wb_enabled == false
we consider ret == -EAGAIN as success.

Not sure we can reduce that to one line of code.
