There should be no break between the function type and its name.

PGALLOC_GFP represents the gfp flags intended for the allocators in this 
file, there's no need to replace its use with GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT, 
we don't care that __pte_alloc_one_kernel() ORs this with __GFP_NOTRACK 
and __GFP_ZERO.
