pageblock_order must always be less than MAX_ORDER, otherwise it might lead
to an warning during boot. A similar problem got fixed on arm64 platform
with the commit 79cc2ed5a716 ("arm64/mm: Drop THP conditionality from
FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER"). Assert the above condition before HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER
gets assigned as pageblock_order. This will help detect the problem earlier
on platforms where HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is enabled.
