It is because khugepaged allocates pages with __GFP_THISNODE, but the
preferred node is offlined. The previous patch fixed the khugepaged
code to avoid allocating page from non-existing node. But it is still
racy against memory hotremove. There is no synchronization with the
memory hotplug so it is possible that memory gets offline during a
longer taking scanning.
So this warning still seems not quite helpful because:
* There is no guarantee the node is online for __GFP_THISNODE context
for all the callsites.
* Kernel just fails the allocation regardless the warning, and it looks
all callsites handle the allocation failure gracefully.
It is actually even harmful for those running in panic-on-warn mode. So
removing the warning seems like a good move.
