It is because khugepaged allocates pages with __GFP_THISNODE, but the
preferred node is bogus. 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.
Although while the warning has helped to identify a buggy code, it is not
safe in general and this warning could panic the system with panic-on-warn
configuration which tends to be used surprisingly often. So replace
VM_WARN_ON to pr_warn(). And the warning will be triggered if
__GFP_NOWARN is set since the allocator would print out warning for such
case if __GFP_NOWARN is not set.

v4: * Renamed nid to this_node and gfp to warn_gfp to make the code
more readable per Michal.
* Collected ack from Michal.
v3: * Reverted the old commit from mm-unstable which remove the VM_WARN
(patch 1/3).
* Incorporated the suggestion from Michal to use pr_warn.
v2: * Added patch 1/2.
* Reworded the commit log per Michal.
