I think that's out of date?

We eventually settled on the version that is (as of this a few minutes
ago) already in mm-unstable (commit fdea060a130d: "mm: move
folio_set_compound_order() to mm/internal.h"), which has it like this:

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio_test_large(folio)))
return;

That's a little narrower of a check. But maybe that's desirable. Could
someone (Mike, Muchun, Sidhartha) comment on which behavior is
preferable, please? I think I'm a little dizzy at this point. :)
