mm/slub: prevent pfmemalloc objects from entering the barn
kmem_cache_return_sheaf() may refill a partially consumed sheaf before
placing it in the barn. Without an explicit restriction, this refill may
draw objects from pfmemalloc slabs and consume emergency reserves.
Add __GFP_NOMEMALLOC so that returned sheaves are refilled only from
non-pfmemalloc slabs. Also add __GFP_NOWARN, as suggested by Hao Li,
because this refill is a best-effort attempt and failure is acceptable.
If the refill fails, flush and free the sheaf instead.
Fixes: 1ce20c28eafd ("slab: handle pfmemalloc slabs properly with sheaves")
