This is a warning about attempting to allocate order > MAX_ORDER. This
is coming from a userspace Ion allocation request. Since userspace is
free to request however much memory it wants (and the kernel is free to
deny its allocation), silence the allocation attempt with __GFP_NOWARN
in case it fails.
