Seems that blk-cgroup can handle allocation failures quite will - it
does check the result and the system continues to run, so let's make
allocation failures silent in here.
There are other GFP_NOWAIT places in that file, but not all seem to
check the return value. In addition this warning seems to be the only
one that I can reliably reproduce so I decided to only touch
blkg_create.
