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.
