When memory is a little tight on my system, it's pretty easy to see
warnings that look like this.
ksoftirqd/0: page allocation failure: order:3, mode:0x40a20(GFP_ATOMIC|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0

On a fragmented system it's normal that order 3 allocations will
sometimes fail, especially atomic ones. The driver handles these
failures fine and the WARN just creates spam in the logs for this
case. The __GFP_NOWARN flag is exactly for this situation, so add it
to the allocation.
NOTE: my testing is on a 5.15 system, but there should be no reason
that this would be fundamentally different on a mainline kernel.
