Christophe reported that the change to ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER to limit the
range to 10 had broken his ability to configure hugepages:

  # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-8192kB/nr_hugepages
  sh: write error: Invalid argument

Several of the powerpc defconfigs previously set the
ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER value to 12, via the definition in
arch/powerpc/configs/fsl-emb-nonhw.config, used by:

  mpc85xx_defconfig
  mpc85xx_smp_defconfig
  corenet32_smp_defconfig
  corenet64_smp_defconfig
  mpc86xx_defconfig
  mpc86xx_smp_defconfig

Fix it by increasing the allowed range to 12 to restore the previous
behaviour.
