Sasha Levin 907985f48b slab: prevent warnings when allocating with __GFP_NOWARN 
Sasha Levin noticed that the warning introduced by commit 6286ae9
("slab: Return NULL for oversized allocations) is being triggered:

  WARNING: CPU: 15 PID: 21519 at mm/slab_common.c:376 kmalloc_slab+0x2f/0xb0()

Andrew Morton writes:

  __GFP_NOWARN is frequently used by kernel code to probe for "how big
  an allocation can I get".  That's a bit lame, but it's used on slow
  paths and is pretty simple.

However, SLAB would still spew a warning when a big allocation happens
if the __GFP_NOWARN flag is _not_ set to expose kernel bugs.
