As the orphan_blocks may be max to 504, so it is not security and rigorous to store such a large array in the kernel stack as Dan Carpenter said. In fact, grab_meta_page has locked the page in the page cache, and we can use find_get_page() to fetch the page safely in the downstream, so we can remove the page array directly.
