[RFC PATCH 2/5] Add new GFP flag __GFP_NOTRACE.

[Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro>]

__GFP_NOTRACE turns off allocator tracing for that particular allocation.

This is used by kmemtrace to correctly classify different kinds of
allocations, without recording one event multiple times. Example: SLAB's
kmalloc() calls kmem_cache_alloc(), but we want to record this only as a
kmalloc.
