Subject: mm/shmem: disable PMD-sized page cache if needed
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2024 19:06:46 +1000
For shmem files, it's possible that PMD-sized page cache can't be
supported by xarray. For example, 512MB page cache on ARM64 when the base
page size is 64KB can't be supported by xarray. It leads to errors as the
following messages indicate when this sort of xarray entry is split.

Fix it by disabling PMD-sized page cache when HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is larger
than MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER.
