Looks like this crossed with three changes that introduced new
uses of MAX_ORDER:

drivers/accel/qaic/qaic_data.c:         max_order = min(MAX_ORDER - 1, get_order(size));
drivers/md/dm-crypt.c:  unsigned int order = MAX_ORDER - 1;
drivers/md/dm-flakey.c: order = MAX_ORDER - 1;

The bugs are all benign, MAX_ORDER - 1 can simply be changed
to MAX_ORDER to be consistent with the new world order.

CCing relevant maintainers...
