[PATCH v2 10/37] mm: sanity-check maximum folio size in folio_set_order()

Let's sanity-check in folio_set_order() whether we would be trying to
create a folio with an order that would make it exceed MAX_FOLIO_ORDER.

This will enable the check whenever a folio/compound page is initialized
through prepare_compound_head() / prepare_compound_page() with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set.
