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!
