    mm: fix high order allocation warning limits
    
    After sysctl parameter 'vm.warn_high_order' is modified it can't be
    returned back to the default value MAX_ORDER+1, only to the fixed
    value 10.
    
    Set the maximum value to 100 which is always larger than any maximum
    order. Also set the default value to MAX_ORDER as it is already the
    value which can never be allocated.
    
    Also there is a logic to stop generating the warning after 32 occurences,
    but the logic is broken (the warning is generated even after the counter
    becomes less than zero). Modify the procedure of checking the counter.
    
    Fixes: 1ab81385c03f ("mm: add warning about high order allocations")
