The hugetlb_cma code passes 0 in the order_per_bit argument to
cma_declare_contiguous_nid (the alignment, computed using the
page order, is correctly passed in).

This causes a bit in the cma allocation bitmap to always represent
a 4k page, making the bitmaps potentially very large, and slower.

So, correctly pass in the order instead.

Fixes: cf11e85fc08c ("mm: hugetlb: optionally allocate gigantic hugepages using cma")

It might be subopimal, but do we call it a "BUG" that needs "fixing". I know, controversial :)

... I'm afraid this is not completely correct.

For example, on arm64, HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER is essentially PMD_ORDER.

... but we do support smaller hugetlb sizes than that (cont-pte hugetlb size is 64 KiB, not 2 MiB -- PMD -- on a 4k kernel)
