Don't warn about order-1 allocations with __GFP_NOFAIL

Browse source 
Traditionally, we never failed small orders (even regardless of any
__GFP_NOFAIL flags), and slab will allocate order-1 allocations even for
small allocations that could fit in a single page (in order to avoid
excessive fragmentation).

Maybe we should remove this warning entirely, but before making that
judgement, at least limit it to bigger allocations.
