Subject: [PATCH 4.19 031/110] selinux: Add __GFP_NOWARN to allocation at str_read()

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

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

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.sakura.ne.jp>

commit 4458bba09788e70e8fb39ad003f087cd9dfbd6ac upstream.

syzbot is hitting warning at str_read() [1] because len parameter can
become larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. We don't need to emit warning for
this case.
