When we free a page whose order is very close to MAX_ORDER and greater
than pageblock_order, it wastes some CPU cycles to increase max_order to
MAX_ORDER one by one and check the pageblock migratetype of that page
repeatedly especially when MAX_ORDER is much larger than pageblock_order.
We also should not be checking migratetype of buddy when "order ==
MAX_ORDER - 1" as the buddy pfn may be invalid, so adjust the condition.
With the new check, we don't need the max_order check anymore, so we
replace it.
Also adjust max_order initialization so that it's lower by one than
previously, which makes the code hopefully more clear.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
