bootmem: Fix __free_pages_bootmem() to use @order properly

a226f6c899 (FRV: Clean up bootmem allocator's page freeing algorithm)
separated out __free_pages_bootmem() from free_all_bootmem_core().
__free_pages_bootmem() takes @order argument but it assumes @order is
either 0 or ilog2(BITS_PER_LONG).  Note that all the current users
match that assumption and this doesn't cause actual problems.

Fix it by using 1 << order instead of BITS_PER_LONG.
