page_order cannot be used unless zone->lock is held which is not held in
this path. Acquiring the lock would prevent parallel allocations from the
buddy allocator (per-cpu allocator would be ok except for refills). I expect
it would not be a good tradeoff to acquire the lock just to use page_order.
