When we specify __GFP_NOWARN, we only expect that no warnings
will be issued for current caller. But in the __should_failslab()
and __should_fail_alloc_page(), the local GFP flags alter the
global {failslab|fail_page_alloc}.attr, which is persistent and
shared by all tasks. This is not what we expected, let's fix it.

  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221107033109.59709-1-zhengqi.arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

  Changelog in v1 -> v2:
   - add comment for __should_failslab() and __should_fail_alloc_page()
     (suggested by Jason)

Looks good.

Thanks. And hi Andrew, seems no action left for me, can this patch
be applied to mm-unstable tree for testing? :)
