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.

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