Let's revert commit 12724ba38992 ("erofs: fix kvcalloc() misuse with
__GFP_NOFAIL") since kvmalloc() already supports __GFP_NOFAIL in commit
a421ef303008 ("mm: allow !GFP_KERNEL allocations for kvmalloc"). So
the original fix was wrong.

Actually there was some issue as [1] discussed, so before that mm fix
is landed, the warn could still happen but applying this commit first
will cause less.
