When CONFIG_ARM_MODULE_PLTS is enabled, the first allocation using the
module space fails, because the module is too big, and then the module
allocation is attempted from vmalloc space. Silence the first allocation
failure in that case by setting __GFP_NOWARN.

Russell, are you okay with this change? Do you have a preference as
which tree should carry this patch series?

Thanks

It looks sensible.

No preference which tree it goes through...
