Subject: mm: debugfs: move rounddown_pow_of_two() out from do_fault path

do_fault_around() expects fault_around_bytes rounded down to nearest page
order.  Instead of calling rounddown_pow_of_two every time in
fault_around_pages()/fault_around_mask() we could do round down when user
changes fault_around_bytes via debugfs interface.

This also fixes bug when user set fault_around_bytes to 0.  Result of
rounddown_pow_of_two(0) is not defined, therefore fault_around_bytes == 0
doesn't work without this patch.

Let's set fault_around_bytes to PAGE_SIZE if user sets to something less
than PAGE_SIZE

Fixes: a9b0f861("mm: nominate faultaround area in bytes rather than page order")
