The reason I didn't use folio_nr_pages(folio) in the second hunk is
because we have already `put` the folio and it is not valid anymore to
use folio_nr_pages right? Because we increase the ref count in
filemap_alloc() and we put if add fails. 

Plus in the second hunk, adding the 0 order folio failed in that index,
so we just move on to the next index. Once we have the min order
support, if adding min order folio failed, we move by min_order.

And your comment on the next patch:

> Hah, you changed this here.  Please move into previous patch.

We can't do that either because I am introducing the concept of min
order in the next patch.
