Replace it with a check on the max folio order of the file's address space

check, since even if collapse_file() now makes sure all to-be-collapsed
folios are clean and the created PMD file THP can be handled by FSes
properly, the filemap_flush() could perform undesirable write back.

Other than my question in the previous patch about >= PMD_ORDER vs == PMD_ORDER.

LGTM
