We expect no warnings to be issued when we specify __GFP_NOWARN, but
currently in paths like alloc_pages() and kmalloc(), there are still
some warnings printed, fix it.

Hi Andrew,

Maybe we only need to deal with memory allocation failures, such as
should_fail() (This leads to deadlock in PATCH[2/2]). These WARN_ON_ONCE()s report usage problems and should not be printed. If they
are printed, we should fix these usage problems.

Thanks,
Qi
