Current algorithm relies on the fact that caller will align the
size to PAGE_SIZE, otherwise order will be decreased to negative
when remain size is less than PAGE_SIZE, it makes the function
hard to be migrated.
This patch sloves the hidden problem.

If size is not page aligned, then wouldn't decrementing the order
under-allocate the memory?
