[PATCH] Improved allocation failure warning

From: Daniel Phillips (phillips@bonn-fries.net)

Hi,

Would you please consider applying this change to __alloc_pages, which
adds the gfp flags and process state information to the "allocation
failed" message. This has already proved useful in diagnosing at least
one vm problem.
