The VM_WARN_ON is just too loud without a good reason. In this particular case we are doing alloc_pages_node(node, GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL|__GFP_NOWARN, order) so we do not insist on allocating from the given node (it is more a hint) so we can fall back to any other populated node and moreover we explicitly ask to not warn for the allocation failure. Soften the warning only to cases when somebody asks for the given node explicitly by __GFP_THISNODE.
