The rlog_pages mount option is parsed from user-supplied mount data and
used directly to compute the read log ring buffer size:
new_buffer_size = PAGE_SIZE * options->read_log_pages;
new_buffer = kzalloc(new_buffer_size, GFP_NOFS);
kzalloc() for a contiguous allocation larger than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
pages triggers WARN_ON(order > MAX_ORDER) in __alloc_pages_noprof().
A user can pass rlog_pages=22472 (~88 MB) to reliably trigger this
WARNING during mount.
Fix this by rejecting rlog_pages values that exceed MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
at parse time, returning -EINVAL for out-of-range values.
