I think you can also remove the __GFP_NOFAIL flag.

Especially the only caller is properly handling the error.

With that __GFP_NOFAIL flag there, it should not fail, but we can not
just rely on NOFAIL flag to save our asses.

Otherwise looks good to me.

With above two points fixed, you can add my tag:
