Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: shmem: fix incorrect aligned index when checking conflicts

In the shmem_suitable_orders() function, xa_find() is used to check for
conflicts in the pagecache to select suitable huge orders. However, when
checking each huge order in every loop, the aligned index is calculated
from the previous iteration, which may cause suitable huge orders to be
missed.

We should use the original index each time in the loop to calculate a
new aligned index for checking conflicts to avoid this issue.
