Minchan Kim bfb8eb833e selinux: use __GFP_NOWARN with GFP_NOWAIT in the AVC
[ Upstream commit 648f2c6100cfa18e7dfe43bc0b9c3b73560d623c ]

In the field, we have seen lots of allocation failure from the call
path below.

Based on [1], selinux is tolerate for failure of memory allocation.
Then, use __GFP_NOWARN together.

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.
