Subject: [DEBUG PATCH 2/2] silent warnings which we cannot do anything about

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>

THIS PATCH IS FOR TESTING ONLY AND NOT MEANT TO HIT LINUS TREE

There are some code paths used by all the filesystems which we cannot
change to drop the GFP_NOFS, yet they generate a lot of warnings.
Provide {disable,enable}_scope_gfp_check to silence those.
alloc_page_buffers and grow_dev_page are silenced right away.
