[PATCH 02/14] arm64: drop ranges in definition of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER

From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt at kernel.org>

It is not a good idea to change fundamental parameters of core memory
management. Having predefined ranges suggests that the values within
those ranges are sensible, but one has to *really* understand
implications of changing MAX_ORDER before actually amending it and
ranges don't help here.

Drop ranges in definition of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER
