Those braces are unneeded as all legs of the if/else are single lines

ifdef could be replaced by IS_ENABLED() because PxD_ORDER and 
vmf_insert_pfn_xxx() are declared all the time

> +	 else if (order == PMD_ORDER) {

'else' is not needed because every 'if' leads to a return statement

So at the end we should get something like:

	if (!order)
		return vmf_insert_pfn(vmf->vma, vmf->address, pfn);

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_PFNMAP) && order == PMD_ORDER)
		return vmf_insert_pfn_pmd(vmf, pfn, false);

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PUD_PFNMAP) && order == PMD_ORDER)
		return vmf_insert_pfn_pud(vmf, pfn, false);

	return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK;
