Subject: [PATCH 4.14 030/159] staging: android: ion: Add __GFP_NOWARN for system contig heap

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Laura Abbott <labbott@...hat.com>

commit 0c75f10312a35b149b2cebb1832316b35c2337ca upstream.

syzbot reported a warning from Ion:

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 3485 at mm/page_alloc.c:3926

This is a warning about attempting to allocate order > MAX_ORDER. This
is coming from a userspace Ion allocation request. Since userspace is
free to request however much memory it wants (and the kernel is free to
deny its allocation), silence the allocation attempt with __GFP_NOWARN
in case it fails.
