Bizarre this started showing up now.  The recent patch was:

-       info->alloced += compound_nr(page);
-       inode->i_blocks += BLOCKS_PER_PAGE << compound_order(page);
+       info->alloced += folio_nr_pages(folio);
+       inode->i_blocks += BLOCKS_PER_PAGE << folio_order(folio);

so it could tell that compound_order() was small, but folio_order()
might be large?

Silencing the warning is a good thing, but folio_order() can (at the
moment) be at most 9 on i386, so it isn't actually going to be
larger than 4096.
