I think "dma-buf: system_heap:" would be better for the subject since
this is specific to the system heap.

Would you mind cleaning up the extra space on line 321 too?

+               if (size < (PAGE_SIZE << orders[i]))

Fixes: d963ab0f15fb ("dma-buf: system_heap: Allocate higher order
pages if available") is also probably a good idea.
