mm/shmem: fix THP allocation and fallback loop
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].
