Is it just "fine", or "good"? I agree it's probably "fine", but
wouldn't it be better to not suppress it?

The message fault injection prints is not a warning, and the
allocation failed due to fault injection. That may trigger subsequent
bugs just as any other case of fault injection. Why don't we want to
see the info message in this particular case? NOWARN looks orthogonal
to this, it's about normal slab allocation failures.
