Pratyush Yadav 7ecd2e439d kho: fix unpreservation of higher-order vmalloc preservations
kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() calls __kho_unpreserve() with end_pfn as
pfn + 1.  This happens to work for 0-order pages, but leaks higher order
pages.

For example, say order 2 pages back the allocation.  During preservation,
they get preserved in the order 2 bitmaps, but
kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() would try to unpreserve them from the order
0 bitmaps, which should not have these bits set anyway, leaving the order
2 bitmaps untouched.  This results in the pages being carried over to the
next kernel.  Nothing will free those pages in the next boot, leaking
them.

Fix this by taking the order into account when calculating the end PFN for
__kho_unpreserve().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
