Subject: [PATCH v3] 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.
