mm/page_alloc: only search higher order when fallback
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It seems unnecessary to search pages with order < alloc_order in
fallback allocation.

This can currently happen with ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT and alloc_order >
pageblock_order, so add a test to prevent it.
