mm: thp: Correct the HPAGE_PMD_ORDER check.
All Transparent Huge Pages are allocated by the buddy allocator. A compile time check is in place that fails when the order of a transparent huge page is too large to be allocated by the buddy allocator. Unfortunately that compile time check passes when: HPAGE_PMD_ORDER == MAX_ORDER ( which is incorrect as the buddy allocator can only allocate memory of order strictly less than MAX_ORDER. ) This patch updates the compile time check to fail in the above case.
