MIPS: Add a CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER Kconfig option.

For huge page support with base page size of 16K or 32K, we have to
increase the MAX_ORDER so that huge pages can be allocated.

[Ralf: I don't think a user should have to configure obscure constants like
this but for the time being this will have to suffice.]

+          The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
+          blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
+          pages.  This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
+          keeps in the memory allocator.  If you need to allocate very large
+          blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
+          increase this value.
+
+          This config option is actually maximum order plus one. For example,
+          a value of 11 means that the largest free memory block is 2^10 pages.
+
+          The page size is not necessarily 4KB.  Keep this in mind
+          when choosing a value for this option.
