Michal Hocko d14b56f508 net: cleanup gfp mask in alloc_skb_with_frags
alloc_skb_with_frags uses __GFP_NORETRY for non-sleeping allocations
which is just a noop and a little bit confusing.

__GFP_NORETRY was added by ed98df3361 ("net: use __GFP_NORETRY for
high order allocations") to prevent from the OOM killer. Yet this was
not enough because fb05e7a89f ("net: don't wait for order-3 page
allocation") didn't want an excessive reclaim for non-costly orders
so it made it completely NOWAIT while it preserved __GFP_NORETRY in
place which is now redundant.

Drop the pointless __GFP_NORETRY because this function is used as
copy&paste source for other places.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
