mm/slub: add sanity check for slub_min/max_order cmdline setup

Browse Source 
Currently there are 2 parameters could be setup from kernel cmdline:
slub_min_order and slub_max_order. It's possible that the user
configured slub_min_order is bigger than the default slub_max_order
[1], which can still take effect, as calculate_oder() will use MAX_ORDER
as a fallback to check against, but has some downsides:

* the kernel message about SLUB will be strange in showing min/max
  orders:

    SLUB: HWalign=64, Order=9-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=16, Nodes=1

* in calculate_order() called by each slab, the 2 loops of
  calc_slab_order() will all be meaningless due to slub_min_order
  is bigger than slub_max_order

* prevent future code cleanup like in [2].

Fix it by adding some sanity check to enforce the min/max semantics.
