Currently the in-memory meta data like c->uuids or c->disk_buckets
are allocated by alloc_bucket_pages(). The macro alloc_bucket_pages()
calls __get_free_pages() to allocated continuous pages with order
indicated by ilog2(bucket_pages(c)),
  #define alloc_bucket_pages(gfp, c)                      \
      ((void *) __get_free_pages(__GFP_ZERO|gfp, ilog2(bucket_pages(c))))

The maximum order is defined as MAX_ORDER, the default value is 11 (and
can be overwritten by CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER). In bcache code the
maximum bucket size width is 16bits, this is restricted both by KEY_SIZE
size and bucket_size size from struct cache_sb_disk. The maximum 16bits
width and power-of-2 value is (1<<15) in unit of sector (512byte). It
means the maximum value of bucket size in bytes is (1<<24) bytes a.k.a
4096 pages.

When the bucket size is set to maximum permitted value, ilog2(4096) is
12, which exceeds the default maximum order __get_free_pages() can
accepted, the failed pages allocation will fail cache set registration
procedure and print a kernel oops message for the exceeded pages order.

This patch introduces meta_bucket_pages(), meta_bucket_bytes(), and
alloc_bucket_pages() helper routines. meta_bucket_pages() indicates the
maximum pages can be allocated to meta data bucket, meta_bucket_bytes()
indicates the according maximum bytes, and alloc_bucket_pages() does
the pages allocation for meta bucket. Because meta_bucket_pages()
chooses the smaller value among the bucket size and MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES,
it still works when MAX_ORDER overwritten by CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER.

Following patches will use these helper routines to decide maximum pages
can be allocated for different meta data buckets. If the bucket size is
larger than meta_bucket_bytes(), the bcache registration can continue to
success, just the space more than meta_bucket_bytes() inside the bucket
is wasted. Comparing bcache failed for large bucket size, wasting some
space for meta data buckets is acceptable at this moment.

I'm not particular happy with the division followed by a shift; might be an idea to replace the division by a shift.

But that's minor, so:
