[patch 1/10] suppress allocation warnings for radix-tree allocations

[Andrew Morton <akpm@zip.com.au>]

The recently-added page allocation failure warning generates a lot of
noise due to radix-tree node allocation failures.  Those messages are
not interesting.

But I think the warning is otherwise useful - "I got an allocation
failure and then it crashed" is better than "it crashed".

The patch suppresses the message for ratnode allocation failures.
