powerpc/mm: Reinstate ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER ranges
Commit 1e8fed8 ("powerpc: drop ranges for definition of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER") removed the limits on the possible values for ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER. However removing the ranges entirely causes some common work flows to break. For example building a defconfig (which uses 64K pages), changing the page size to 4K, and rebuilding used to work, because ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER would be clamped to 12 by the ranges. With the ranges removed it creates a kernel that builds but crashes at boot: kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:470! Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1] ...

So take that into account and limit the maximums to 10 which is the default max, except for the 4K case which uses 12.
