That extra variable has been introduced just for keeping an original passed gfp_mask because it is updated with __GFP_NOWARN on entry, thus error handling messages were broken. Instead we can keep an original gfp_mask without modifying it and add an extra __GFP_NOWARN flag together with gfp_mask as a parameter to the vm_area_alloc_pages() function. It will make it less confused.
