Subject: mm/cma.c: take __GFP_NOWARN into account in cma_alloc()
cma_alloc() unconditionally prints an INFO message when the CMA allocation
fails. Make this message conditional on the non-presence of __GFP_NOWARN
in gfp_mask.
This patch aims at removing INFO messages that are displayed when the VC4
driver tries to allocate buffer objects. From the driver perspective an
allocation failure is acceptable, and the driver can possibly do something
to make following allocation succeed (like flushing the VC4 internal
cache).
