Why introduce the max_t() call here? Did nobody read the documentation
or implementation for get_order() before writing this patch?
Besides, get_order() is wrong (at least relative to other filesystems).
get_order() rounds up instead of down, so what should we do for a write()
of size 512 * 1024 + 1 byte? Other filesystems allocate an order-8 folio
plus an order-0 folio. This code would have us allocate an order-9 folio.
I think that's a bad idea.
