Subject: mm: vmalloc: correct use of __GFP_NOWARN mask in __vmalloc_area_node()
Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2022 12:36:59 +0000

This function sets __GFP_NOWARN in the gfp_mask rendering the warn_alloc()
invocations no-ops.  Remove this and instead rely on this flag being set
only for the vm_area_alloc_pages() function, ensuring it is cleared for
each of the warn_alloc() calls.
