I've been forwarded this one before.
It is not unreasonable really.

Is all stems from order_base_2(totalram_pages()).
order_base_2(n) is 'n > 1 ? ilog2(n - 1) + 1 : 0'.
And the compiler is generating two copies of the code.
(Basically optimising for the zero case.)
And the one for totalram_pages() being zero hits the check in clamp().

Flipping to clamp(max_avail, min, max) will stop it bleating.

More interesting would be 'launder' the 0 in order_base_2().
By adding something like:
#define optimiser_hide_val(x) ({ \
	__auto_type(_x) = (x); \
	optimiser_hide_var(_x); \
	_x; \
})
and change order_base_2() to be:
	n > 1 ? ilog2(n - 1) + 1 : optimiser_hide_val(0);
(ISTR there is a split for constant v non-constant before then.)
