Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: use "high-order" in description non 0-order pages
Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2024 11:50:49 +0200

In many places, in the comments, we use both "higher-order" and
"high-order" to describe the non 0-order pages.  That is confusing,
because a "higher-order" statement does not reflect what it is compared
with.
