mm/slab: allow __GFP_NOMEMALLOC and __GFP_NOWARN for kmalloc_nolock()
The two flags are added internally so there's no point for warning if they are passed by the caller as well, so allow them. This will allow simplifying obj_ext allocation under kmalloc_nolock(). Also it's not necessary to have the extra alloc_gfp variable for adding the two flags. The original gfp_flags parameter is not used anywhere except for the warning. So remove alloc_gfp and directly modify and use gfp_flags everywhere.
