[for-linus][PATCH 12/15] ftrace: Simplify the calculation of page number for ftrace_page->records

From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@linux.alibaba.com>

Based on the following two reasones, we could simplify the calculation:

- If the number after roundup count is not power of 2, we would
definitely have more than 1 empty page with a higher order.
- get_count_order() just return current order, so one lower order
could meet the requirement.

The calculation could be simplified by lower one order level when pages
are not power of 2.
