vfnum buffer size and binary_len buffer size is received by user-space.
So, this buffer size could be too large. If so, kmalloc will internally
print a warning message.
This warning message is actually not necessary for the netdevsim module.
So, this patch adds __GFP_NOWARN.
Test commands:
modprobe netdevsim
echo 1 > /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
echo 1000000000 > /sys/devices/netdevsim1/sriov_numvfs
Splat looks like:

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.
