This reverts commit eab0af905bfc3e9c05da2ca163d76a1513159aa4. There is no existing user of those flags. PF_MEMALLOC_NOWARN is dangerous because a nested allocation context can use GFP_NOFAIL which could cause unexpected failure. Such a code would be hard to maintain because it could be deeper in the call chain. PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM has been added even when it was pointed out [1] that such a allocation contex is inherently unsafe if the context doesn't fully control all allocations called from this context. While PF_MEMALLOC_NOWARN is not dangerous the way PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM is it doesn't have any user and as Matthew has pointed out we are running out of those flags so better reclaim it without any real users.
