mm: avoid passing 0 to __ffs()
23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") results in
various boot failures (hang) on arm targets Debug messages reveal the
reason.
########### MAX_ORDER=10 start=0 __ffs(start)=-1 min()=10 min_t=-1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If start==0, __ffs(start) returns 0xfffffff or (as int) -1, which min_t()
interprets as such, while min() apparently uses the returned unsigned long
value. Obviously a negative order isn't received well by the rest of the
code.
