[PATCH 2/3] x86/swiotlb: Try coherent allocations with __GFP_NOWARN

[Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

When we boot a kdump kernel in high memory, there is by
default only 72MB of low memory available. The swiotlb code
takes 64MB of it (by default) so that there are only 8MB
left to allocate from. On systems with many devices this
causes page allocator warnings from dma_generic_alloc_coherent():

systemd-udevd: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x280d4
CPU: 0 PID: 197 Comm: systemd-udevd Tainted: G        W       3.12.28-4-default #1

After these warnings the code enters a fallback path and
allocated directly from the swiotlb aperture in the end.
So remove these warnings as this is not a fatal error.
