Seem there are two issues you are folding into one patch:

one is the wrong informatin passed into __vmap_pages_range_noflush();
the other is you want to take off VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP on kvmalloc().

About the 1st one, do you think below draft is OK to you?

Pass out the fall back order and adjust the order and shift for later
usage, mainly for vmap_pages_range().
