As 'lbdof_blen' is coming from user, if the size in kzalloc()

If you try to allocate a memory larger than(>=) MAX_ORDER, then kmalloc()
will definitely fail. It creates a stack trace and messes up dmesg.
The user controls the size here so if they specify a too large size it
will fail.

Add __GFP_NOWARN in order to avoid too large allocation warning.
This is detected by static analysis using smatch.
