This patch reduces the kernel size by removing error messages that duplicate
the normal OOM message.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr)

@@
identifier f,print,l;
expression e;
constant char[] c;
@@

e = \(kzalloc\|kmalloc\|devm_kzalloc\|devm_kmalloc\)(...);
if (e == NULL) {
  <+...
-  print(...,c,...);
  ... when any
(
  goto l;
|
  return ...;
)
  ...+> }

This patch removes useful warnings about what allocation failed. The
messages removed are NOT duplicate!

NACK

Is it really the case that the information can't be reconstructed from the
information generated by kmalloc on failure?  To my understanding there is
a stack trace, and from scanning through the changes I see only one change
per function, so perhaps the stack trace already makes it clear where the
problem occurred?

It may be possible to backtrack, but this change just makes it harder.

There are tons of real issues to fix in this driver, this patch just
increases the risk of patch conflicts for no real gain.

Making the allocation less likely to fail for
low memory systems is a gain.

The allocation failures themselves are low
likelihood events.  Determining which specific
memory allocation failure occurred has near
nil value.

Joe,

That is bologna, knowing which allocation failed has a lot of value, it
allows the developer to go back and look at the allocation sizes,
parameters applied etc.

This is a classic case of blindly applied script 'fixes' causing more
harm than good.

Jes,

We disagree, and I rather like minced meat sausages.

Likely enough of this is emitted by the generic OOM
message and stack dump.

cheesy tomato/tomahto.  Goes well with baloney.
