yes, i agree with you to correct function name

i provide another patch called v2 based on your suggestion as shown below
it have following correction against original patch v1
1) use name get_count_order_long() instead of get_order_long()
2) return -1 if @l == 0 to consist with get_order_long()
3) cast type to int before returning from get_count_order_long()
4) move up function parameter checking for __get_vm_area_node()
5) more commit message is offered to make issue and approach clear
any comments about new patch is welcome

this new patch called patch v2 is shown below

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] mm/vmalloc: fix align value calculation error

it causes double align requirement for __get_vm_area_node() if parameter
size is power of 2 and VM_IOREMAP is set in parameter flags, for example
size=0x10000 -> fls_long(0x10000)=17 -> align=0x20000

get_count_order_long() is implemented and used instead of fls_long() for
fixing the bug, for example
size=0x10000 -> get_count_order_long(0x10000)=16 -> align=0x10000

okay, perhaps, another patch is applied to correct this weird name issue
in the future due to it is a separate issue now
we use get_count_order_long() to consist with get_order_long() now
