It turns out that Smatch checks for allocation failure were really
ancient and really crap...  I need to add all devm_ functions.
Probably should re-write all that code.

Also originally GFP_NOFAIL was 0x800 and now it is 0x8000.  Smatch
was out of sync.  So the functions that were supposed to be checked
were all disabled...  Need to figure out a better way to do that as
well.
