Subject: mm/shmem: fix THP allocation and fallback loop
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 18:57:19 +0800

The order check and fallback loop is updating the index value on every
loop.  This will cause the index to be wrongly aligned by a larger value
while the loop shrinks the order.

This may result in inserting and returning a folio of the wrong index and
cause data corruption with some userspace workloads [1].
