There is a parameter in price feed named MSSR, which stands for "maximum short
squeeze ratio". Maker price of margin call orders is MSSP, which stands for
"maximum short squeeze price", is calculated as `feed_price / ( 100% + MSSR )`.
"maximum short squeeze price", is calculated as `feed_price / MSSR`.
Note: `feed_price` here is in terms of debt/collateral, aka "how much debt per
collateral".

Currently a black swan event will occur when the call order with least
collateral ratio is going to be matched below 100% collateral ratio price
(name it CRP). Because the call order will be matched with incoming limit order
at limit order's price (taker price),
which can be higher or lower than CRP, so even if MSSP is
below CRP, an incoming taker limit order may or may not trigger a black swan.
(name it `100CRP`). Because the call order will be matched with incoming limit
order at limit order's price (taker price),
which can be higher or lower than 100CRP, so even if MSSP is below 100CRP,
an incoming taker limit order may or may not trigger a black swan.
So it makes sense to check if a black swan event will occur every time when a
limit order is created.
After the behavior changed to always match at maker price, when MSSP is below
CRP, an incoming taker limit order will always trigger a black swan event.
So it makes sense to trigger the black swan event when MSSP is below CRP rather
than waiting for an incoming limit order. That means it's no longer needed to
check for black swan event when a limit order is created. Since checking for
black swan event is somehow expensive, we'll gain a side benefit on performance
with the change.

position with least collateral ratio may still have more than 100% collateral

ratio. In this case, the global settlement price is 100CRP but not the actual
collateral ratio of the short position with least collateral ratio.
This is current behavior, it's fair, no need to change.
