Subject: [PATCH v2] mm, slab: Check GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK before alloc_pages in
 kmalloc_order

In the ARM32 environment with highmem enabled. Using flag of kmalloc()
with __GFP_HIGHMEM to allocate large memory, it will go through the
kmalloc_order() path and return NULL. The __GFP_HIGHMEM flag will
cause alloc_pages() to allocate highmem memory and pages cannot be
directly converted to a virtual address, kmalloc_order() will return
NULL and the page has been allocated.

After modification, GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK has been checked before
allocating pages, refer to the new_slab().

Signed-off-by: Long Li <lonuxli.64@...il.com>

Changes in v2:
- patch is rebased againest "[PATCH] mm: Free unused pages in
kmalloc_order()" [1]
- check GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK and generate warnings before alloc_pages
in kmalloc_order()
