Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/4] net: filter: add __GFP_NOWARN flag for larger kmem allocs

When seccomp BPF was added, it was discussed to add __GFP_NOWARN
flag for their configuration path as f.e. up to 32K allocations are
more prone to fail under stress. As we're going to reuse BPF API,
add __GFP_NOWARN flags where larger kmalloc() and friends allocations
could fail.

It doesn't make much sense to pass around __GFP_NOWARN everywhere as
an extra argument only for seccomp while we just as well could run
into similar issues for socket filters, where it's not desired to
have a user application throw a WARN() due to allocation failure.
