block: do not warn when doing greedy allocation in folio_alloc_greedy()
During one of my local btrfs fstests runs, folio_alloc() inside
folio_alloc_greedy() triggered an allocation failure report when trying
to allocate an order-4 folio.
The kernel is from the latest development branch, which is utilizing
the IOMAP_DIO_BOUNCE flag for direct writes when the inode requires
checksum.
Unfortunately I didn't save the full log, only the function and the
order.
When the IOMAP_DIO_BOUNCE flag is utilized, we will hit the following call
chain:
bio_iov_iter_bounce_write()
|- folio_alloc_greedy()
|- folio_alloc(gfp | __GFP_NORETRY, get_order(*size));
However __GFP_NORETRY will still emit an allocation failure report
when it fails.
And folio_alloc_greedy() will retry with a smaller order anyway, there
is no point in emitting that allocation failure report.
Append the __GFP_NOWARN flag to folio_alloc() for the larger-order folio
attempts.
Fixes: 8dd5e7c ("block: add helpers to bounce buffer an iov_iter into bios")
