Michal Hocko c63ae43ba5 mm, page_alloc: check for max order in hot path
Konstantin has noticed that kvmalloc might trigger the following
warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6676 at mm/vmstat.c:986 __fragmentation_index+0x54/0x60
  [...]
  Call Trace:

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

the problem is that we only check for an out of bound order in the slow
path and the node reclaim might happen from the fast path already.  This
is fixable by making sure that kvmalloc doesn't ever use kmalloc for
requests that are larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE but this also shows that
the code is rather fragile.  A recent UBSAN report just underlines that
by the following report

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in mm/page_alloc.c:3117:19

Note that this is not a kvmalloc path.  It is just that the fast path
really depends on having sanitzed order as well.  Therefore move the
order check to the fast path.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
