Qi Zheng ea4452de2a mm: fix unexpected changes to {failslab|fail_page_alloc}.attr
When we specify __GFP_NOWARN, we only expect that no warnings will be
issued for current caller.  But in the __should_failslab() and
__should_fail_alloc_page(), the local GFP flags alter the global
{failslab|fail_page_alloc}.attr, which is persistent and shared by all
tasks.  This is not what we expected, let's fix it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
