ext4: limit the maximum folio order
In environments with a page size of 64KB, the maximum size of a folio can reach up to 128MB. Consequently, during the write-back of folios, the 'rsv_blocks' will be overestimated to 1,577, which can make pressure on the journal space where the journal is small. This can easily exceed the limit of a single transaction. Besides, an excessively large folio is meaningless and will instead increase the overhead of traversing the bhs within the folio. Therefore, limit the maximum order of a folio to 2048 filesystem blocks.
