[PATCH v5 2/8] mm: Support order-1 folios in the page cache

[Zi Yan <zi.yan@sent.com>]

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>

Folios of order 1 have no space to store the deferred list.  This is
not a problem for the page cache as file-backed folios are never
placed on the deferred list.  All we need to do is prevent the core
MM from touching the deferred list for order 1 folios and remove the
code which prevented us from allocating order 1 folios.
