kho: drop restriction on maximum page order
KHO currently restricts the maximum order of a restored page to the
maximum order supported by the buddy allocator. While this works fine for
much of the data passed across kexec, it is possible to have pages larger
than MAX_PAGE_ORDER.
For one, it is possible to get a larger order when using
kho_preserve_pages() if the number of pages is large enough, since it
tries to combine multiple aligned 0-order preservations into one higher
order preservation.
For another, upcoming support for hugepages can have gigantic hugepages
being preserved over KHO.
There is no real reason for this limit. The KHO preservation machinery
can handle any page order. Remove this artificial restriction on max page
order.
