Similar to commit d659b715e94ac ("mm/huge_memory: avoid PMD-size page cache
if needed"), ARM64 can support 512MB PMD-sized THP when the base page size is
64KB, which is larger than the maximum supported page cache size MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER.
This is not expected. To fix this issue, use THP_ORDERS_ALL_FILE_DEFAULT for
shmem to filter allowable huge orders.

Fixes: e7a2ab7b3bb5 ("mm: shmem: add mTHP support for anonymous shmem")

Nit:
THP_ORDERS_ALL_FILE_DEFAULT should be self-explanatory enough.
I feel we don't need this comment?

Sure.

Andrew, please help to squash the following changes into this patch. Thanks.
