    perf: Prevent passing zero nr_pages to rb_alloc_aux()
    
    [ Upstream commit dbc48c8f41c208082cfa95e973560134489e3309 ]
    
    nr_pages is unsigned long but gets passed to rb_alloc_aux() as an int,
    and is stored as an int.
    
    Only power-of-2 values are accepted, so if nr_pages is a 64_bit value, it
    will be passed to rb_alloc_aux() as zero.
    
    That is not ideal because:
     1. the value is incorrect
     2. rb_alloc_aux() is at risk of misbehaving, although it manages to
     return -ENOMEM in that case, it is a result of passing zero to get_order()
     even though the get_order() result is documented to be undefined in that
     case.
    
    Fix by simply validating the maximum supported value in the first place.
    Use -ENOMEM error code for consistency with the current error code that
    is returned in that case.
