__free_pages_bootmem() used to special-case higher-order frees to save individual page checking with free_pages_bulk(). Nowadays, both zero order and non-zero order frees use free_pages(), which checks each individual page anyway, and so there is little point in making the distinction anymore. The higher-order loop will work just fine for zero order pages.
