mm, slub: lower the default slub_max_order with CONFIG_SLUB_TINY
With CONFIG_SLUB_TINY we want to minimize memory overhead. By lowering the default slub_max_order we can make slab allocations use smaller pages. However depending on object sizes, order-0 might not be the best due to increased fragmentation. When testing on a 8MB RAM k210 system by Damien Le Moal [1], slub_max_order=1 had the best results, so use that as the default for CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.
