commit e75d18cecbb3805895d8ed64da4f78575ec96043 upstream.
Though acpi_find_last_cache_level() always returned signed value and the
document states it will return any errors caused by lack of a PPTT table,
it never returned negative values before.
Commit 0c80f9e165f8 ("ACPI: PPTT: Leave the table mapped for the runtime usage")
however changed it by returning -ENOENT if no PPTT was found. The value
returned from acpi_find_last_cache_level() is then assigned to unsigned
fw_level.
It will result in the number of cache leaves calculated incorrectly as
a huge value which will then cause the following warning from __alloc_pages
as the order would be great than MAX_ORDER because of incorrect and huge
cache leaves value.

Fix the same by changing fw_level to be signed integer and return the
error from init_cache_level() early in case of error.

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.
