mm/huge_memory: optimize old_order derivation during folio splitting

Folio splitting requires both the folio's original order (@old_order) and
the new target order (@split_order).

In the current implementation, @old_order is repeatedly retrieved using
folio_order().

However, for every iteration after the first, the folio being split is the
result of the previous split, meaning its order is already known to be
equal to the previous iteration's @split_order.

This commit optimizes the logic:

  * Instead of calling folio_order(), we now set @old_order directly to
    the value of @split_order from the previous iteration.

This change avoids unnecessary function calls and simplifies the loop
setup.

Also it removes a check for non-existent case, since for uniform splitting
we only do split when @split_order == @new_order.
