I would use rather this_node or similarly descriptive name. gfp sounds
like a pasm but this is only a subset of it. If you really want to
improve the readability then you can restructure the condition a bit

	if (gfp_mask & (__GFP_THISNODE|__GFP_NOWARN)) != (__GFP_THISNODE|__GFP_NOWARN))
		return;
	
	if (node_online(nid)) 
		return;
	
	pr_warn("%pGg allocation from offline node %d\n", &gfp, nid);
	dump_stack();
