Whilst the default SLUB allocator happily just merges the original
allocation flags from kmem_cache_create() with those passed through
kmem_cache_alloc(), there is a code path in the SLAB allocator which
will aggressively BUG_ON() if the cache was created with SLAB_CACHE_DMA
but GFP_DMA is not specified for an allocation:
