idr: idr_alloc() shouldn't trigger lowmem warning when preloaded
GFP_NOIO is often used for idr_alloc() inside preloaded section as the allocation mask doesn't really matter. If the idr tree needs to be expanded, idr_alloc() first tries to allocate using the specified allocation mask and if it fails falls back to the preloaded buffer. This order prevent non-preloading idr_alloc() users from taking advantage of preloading ones by using preload buffer without filling it shifting the burden of allocation to the preload users. Unfortunately, this allowed/expected-to-fail kmem_cache allocation ends up generating spurious slab lowmem warning before succeeding the request from the preload buffer. This patch makes idr_layer_alloc() add __GFP_NOWARN to the first kmem_cache attempt and try kmem_cache again w/o __GFP_NOWARN after allocation from preload_buffer fails so that lowmem warning is generated if not suppressed by the original @gfp_mask.
