Looks like theres a lot left for this specific case. At least 48 show up
that are spread out across subsystems when running 'git grep
"GFP_NOWAIT.*GFP_NOWARN"'.
I think they should be cleaned up in sets per-subsystem to minimize
merge conflicts, as suggested in the commit mentioned above (16f5dfbc851b).
