slab: do not panic on invalid gfp_mask
Both SLAB and SLUB BUG() when a caller provides an invalid gfp_mask.
This is a rather harsh way to announce a non-critical issue. Allocator
is free to ignore invalid flags. Let's simply replace BUG() by
dump_stack to tell the offender and fixup the mask to move on with the
allocation request.
This is an example for kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGHMEM) from a test
module:
Unexpected gfp: 0x2 (__GFP_HIGHMEM). Fixing up to gfp: 0x24000c0 (GFP_KERNEL). Fix your code!
