[PATCHv2] net: suppress warnings on dev_alloc_skb

[Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>]

Noticed an allocation failure in a network driver the other day on a 32 bit
system:

DMA-API: debugging out of memory - disabling
bnx2fc: adapter_lookup: hba NULL
lldpad: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x4120
Pid: 4556, comm: lldpad Not tainted 2.6.32-639.el6.i686.debug #1

...

Thought that perhaps the big splat in the logs wasn't really necessecary, as
all call sites for dev_alloc_skb:

a) check the return code for the function

and

b) either print their own error message or have a recovery path that makes the
warning moot.

Fix it by modifying dev_alloc_pages to pass __GFP_NOWARN as a gfp flag to
suppress the warning

applies to the net tree

Change notes
v2) Modified patch to only apply to dev_alloc_pages, so that callers have the
option to get the warning by using the non-wrapped __dev_alloc_pages as per
suggestion from Eric D.
