mm/huge_memory: make min_order_for_split() always return an order

min_order_for_split() returns -EBUSY when the folio is truncated and
cannot be split.  In commit 77008e1b2ef7 ("mm/huge_memory: do not change
split_huge_page*() target order silently"), memory_failure() does not
handle it and pass -EBUSY to try_to_split_thp_page() directly. 
try_to_split_thp_page() returns -EINVAL since -EBUSY becomes 0xfffffff0 as
new_order is unsigned int in __folio_split() and this large new_order is
rejected as an invalid input.  The code does not cause a bug. 
soft_offline_in_use_page() also uses min_order_for_split() but it always
passes 0 as new_order for split.

Fix it by making min_order_for_split() always return an order.  When the
given folio is truncated, namely folio->mapping == NULL, return 0 and let
a subsequent split function handle the situation and return -EBUSY.

Add kernel-doc to min_order_for_split() to clarify its use.
