This is a little bit too tortured now, how about this:

	if (length >> (PAGE_SHIFT + order) >= UINT_MAX)
		return NULL;
	nent = length >> (PAGE_SHIFT + order);
	if (length & ((1ULL << (PAGE_SHIFT + order)) - 1))
		nent++;

	if (chainable) {
		if (check_add_overflow(nent, 1, &nalloc))
			return NULL;
	}
	else
		nalloc = nent;
