[PATCH v2 1/1] mm/vmalloc: fix align value calculation error

From: zijun_hu
Date: Wed Aug 10 2016 - 00:13:41 EST


it causes double align requirement for __get_vm_area_node() if parameter
size is power of 2 and VM_IOREMAP is set in parameter flags, for example
size=0x10000 -> fls_long(0x10000)=17 -> align=0x20000

get_count_order_long() is implemented and used instead of fls_long() for
fixing the bug, for example
size=0x10000 -> get_count_order_long(0x10000)=16 -> align=0x10000

okay, perhaps, another patch is applied to correct this weird name issue
in the future due to it is a separate issue now
we use get_count_order_long() to consist with get_order_long() now
