Subject: [PATCH] scripts/checkpatch.pl: __GFP_NOFAIL isn't going away

Revert commit 7e4915e78992 ("checkpatch: add warning of future
__GFP_NOFAIL use").

There are no plans to remove __GFP_NOFAIL.

__GFP_NOFAIL exists to

a) centralise the retry-allocation-for-ever operation into the core
   allocator, which is the appropriate implementation site and

b) permit us to identify code sites which aren't handling memory
   exhaustion appropriately.
