Subject: mm: fix unexpected changes to {failslab|fail_page_alloc}.attr
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2022 18:00:11 +0800

When we specify __GFP_NOWARN, we only expect that no warnings will be
issued for current caller.  But in the __should_failslab() and
__should_fail_alloc_page(), the local GFP flags alter the global
{failslab|fail_page_alloc}.attr, which is persistent and shared by all
tasks.  This is not what we expected, let's fix it.
