arm64: drop ranges in definition of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER

It is not a good idea to change fundamental parameters of core memory
management.  Having predefined ranges suggests that the values within
those ranges are sensible, but one has to *really* understand implications
of changing MAX_ORDER before actually amending it and ranges don't help
here.

Drop ranges in definition of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER and make its prompt
visible only if EXPERT=y
