So __GFP_COMP is actually problematic and changes behavior, and I plan
to lift an optimization from the arm code to the generic one that
only rounds up allocations to the next page size instead of the next
power of two, so I need this check now.  Other flags including
GFP_USER are pretty bogus to, but I actually need to do a full audit
before rejecting them, which I've only done for GFP_COMP so far.
