Subject: mm: page_alloc: fix CMA area initialisation when pageblock > MAX_ORDER
With a kernel configured with ARM64_64K_PAGES && !TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE,
the following is triggered at early boot:
SMP: Total of 8 processors activated.
devtmpfs: initialized
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008
pgd = fffffe0000050000

This happens because init_cma_reserved_pageblock() calls __free_one_page()
with pageblock_order as page order but it is bigger than MAX_ORDER. This
in turn causes accesses past zone->free_list[].
Fix the problem by changing init_cma_reserved_pageblock() such that it
splits pageblock into individual MAX_ORDER pages if pageblock is bigger
than a MAX_ORDER page.
In cases where !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE, which is all
architectures expect for ia64, powerpc and tile at the moment, the
â??pageblock_order > MAX_ORDERâ?? condition will be optimised out since
both sides of the operator are constants. In cases where pageblock size
is variable, the performance degradation should not be significant anyway
since init_cma_reserved_pageblock() is called only at boot time at most
MAX_CMA_AREAS times which by default is eight.
