If you are only using min_order in the VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO() macro, then
please just do:

VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(folio_order(folio) < mapping_min_folio_order(mapping),
folio);

There is no need to clutter up the function with variables that are
only used in one debug-only check.

index = mapping_align_start_index(mapping, index);

The rest of the function only cares about min_order, not
min_nrpages....
