Callers may speculatively call different allocators in order of preference trying to allocate a buffer of a given size. The order needed to allocate this may be larger than what the page allocator can normally handle. While the allocator mostly does the right thing, it should not direct reclaim or wakeup kswapd with a bogus order. This patch sanity checks the order in the slow path and returns NULL if it is too large.
