Re: [PATCH] arm64/mm: Drop THP conditionality from FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER

Currently without THP being enabled, MAX_ORDER via FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER gets
reduced to 11, which falls below HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER for certain 16K and 64K
page size configurations. This is problematic which throws up the following
warning during boot as pageblock_order via HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER order exceeds
MAX_ORDER.
