As of ce91f6ee5b3 (mm: kvmalloc does not fallback to vmalloc for incompatible gfp flag),
we can simplify the caller and trust kvzalloc() to just do the right thing. For the
case of the GFP_ATOMIC context, we can drop the __GFP_NORETRY flag for obvious reasons,
and for the __GFP_NOWARN case, however, it is changed such that the caller passes the
flag instead of making bucket_table_alloc() handle it.

This slightly changes the gfp flags passed on to nested_table_alloc() as it will now
also use GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN. However, I consider this a positive consequence
as for the same reasons we want nowarn semantics in bucket_table_alloc().

v2:
- Changes based on Neil's concerns about keeping nowarn flag.
- Better changelog.
