This will turn gfp == 0 always. Should it have been

	gfp |= __GFP_SKIP_KASAN_UNPOISON | __GFP_SKIP_ZERO

Also, not sure it matters, but on non-KASAN builds, this will now always
generate an extra instruction. You could conditionally define GFP_SKIP*
only in the KASAN modes that need them, otherwise they become 0, so the
compiler optimizes this out. (Although I think it does does complicate
GFP_SHIFT a little?)
