Good point.

IIUC, mapping_max_folio_order() means "maximum supported order" not
"the only supported order", so mapping_pmd_folio_support() just means
"PMD order is within the supported range".

Also, mapping_set_large_folios() sets the range to:

mapping_set_folio_order_range(mapping, 0, MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER);

and __filemap_get_folio_mpol() treats max as a cap, then falls back down
towards min.

That said, if we want the helper name to mean "PMD order specifically is
supported", the more future-proof test would be:

mapping_min_folio_order(mapping) <= PMD_ORDER &&
mapping_max_folio_order(mapping) >= PMD_ORDER

Thoughs?
