Kairui Song dd853cf1da mm/shmem: fix THP allocation and fallback loop ...

commit fc745ff317 upstream.

The order check and fallback loop is updating the index value on every
loop.  This will cause the index to be wrongly aligned by a larger value
while the loop shrinks the order.

This may result in inserting and returning a folio of the wrong index and
cause data corruption with some userspace workloads [1].
