hns3 only support fixed buf size per desc by 512 byte, 1024 bytes, 2048 bytes
4096 bytes, see hns3_buf_size2type(), I think the order 1 pages is for buf size
with 4096 bytes and system page size with 4K, as hns3 driver still support the
per-desc ping-pong way of page splitting when page_pool_enabled is false.

With page pool enabled, you are right that order 0 pages is enough, and I am not
sure about the exact reason we use the some order as the ping-pong way of page
splitting now.
As 2048 bytes buf size seems to be the default one, and I has not heard any one
changing it. Also, it caculates the pool_size using something as below, so the
memory usage is almost the same for order 0 and order 1:

.pool_size = ring->desc_num * hns3_buf_size(ring) /
		(PAGE_SIZE << hns3_page_order(ring)),

I am not sure it worth changing it, maybe just change it to set good example for
the users:) anyway I need to discuss this with other colleague internally and do
some testing before doing the change.
