mm: support order-1 folios in the page cache
Folios of order 1 have no space to store the deferred list. This is not a
problem for the page cache as file-backed folios are never placed on the
deferred list. All we need to do is prevent the core MM from touching the
deferred list for order 1 folios and remove the code which prevented us
from allocating order 1 folios.
