I think the VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO is appropriate as it would at least flag
data corruption.

Thinking about this some more, it seems that hugetlb is the only caller
that abuses folio_set_compound_order (and previously set_compound_order)
by passing in a zero order.  Since it is unlikely that anyone knows of
this abuse, it might be good to add a comment to the routine to note
why it handles the zero case.  This might help prevent changes which
would potentially break hugetlb.
