Subject: mm/memcontrol.c: fix order calculation in try_charge()

Since 6539cc05386 ("mm: memcontrol: fold mem_cgroup_do_charge()"), the
order to pass to mem_cgroup_oom() is calculated by passing the number of
pages to get_order() instead of the expected size in bytes.  AFAICT, it
only affects the value displayed in the oom warning message.  This patch
fix this.

Michal said:

: We haven't noticed that just because the OOM is enabled only for page
: faults of order-0 (single page) and get_order work just fine.  Thanks for
: noticing this.  If we ever start triggering OOM on different orders this
: would be broken.
