Christophe Leroy 2d17ab8874 powerpc/modules: Don't WARN on first module allocation attempt
[ Upstream commit f1797e4de1 ]

module_alloc() first tries to allocate module text within 24 bits direct
jump from kernel text, and tries a wider allocation if first one fails.

When first allocation fails the following is observed in kernel logs:

  vmap allocation for size 2400256 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size
  systemd-udevd: vmalloc error: size 2395133, vm_struct allocation failed, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null)
  CPU: 0 PID: 127 Comm: systemd-udevd Tainted: G        W         5.15.5-gentoo-PowerMacG4 #9
  Call Trace:
  [e2a53a50] [c0ba0048] dump_stack_lvl+0x80/0xb0 (unreliable)
  [e2a53a70] [c0540128] warn_alloc+0x11c/0x2b4

  [e2a53f30] [c0035098] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x28
  ...

Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to first allocation so that no warning appears
when it fails.

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.
