It seems that you think the user could pass 0 to order. However,
->_folio_nr_pages and ->_folio_order fields are invalid for order-0 pages.
You should not touch it. So this should be:

static inline void folio_set_compound_order(struct folio *folio,
unsigned int order)
{
if (!folio_test_large(folio))
return;

folio->_folio_order = order;
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
folio->_folio_nr_pages = 1U << order;
#endif
}

If we can make sure all the users of folio_set_compound_order() should pass
a non-order-0 page (it is true for now), then I suggest adding a VM_BUG_ON()
here to catch unexpected users.

static inline void folio_set_compound_order(struct folio *folio,
unsigned int order)
{
VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio), folio);

folio->_folio_order = order;
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
folio->_folio_nr_pages = 1U << order;
#endif
}

Thanks.
