To make the code that clamps the folio order in the __filemap_get_folio
routine reusable to others, move and merge it to the fgf_set_order
new subroutine (mapping_size_order), so when mapping the size at a
given index, the order calculated is already valid and ready to be
used when order is retrieved from fgp_flags with FGF_GET_ORDER.

That seems like a lot of extra code to add in order to avoid copying
six lines of code and one comment into the shmem code.

It's not wrong, but it seems like a bad tradeoff to me.

I saw some value in sharing the logic but I'll merge this code directly
in shmem and add a comment 'Like filemap_' similar to the one in
shmem_add_to_page_cache.

Thanks for the quick feedback and review Matthew. I'll do a V2 with the
changes and retest the series again using latest next tag.
