Trimming to MAX_ORDER was originally done in order to avoid to set HOLES_IN_ZONE, which in turn would enable a quite expensive pfn_valid() check. pfn_valid() however only checks if a struct page exists for a given pfn. With sparsemen vmemmap there are always struct pages, since memmaps are allocated for whole sections. Therefore remove the HOLES_IN_ZONE comment and the trimming.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
