kmemleak: Allow kmemleak metadata allocations to fail
This patch adds __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOMEMALLOC flags to the kmemleak
metadata allocations so that it has a smaller effect on the users of the
kernel slab allocator. Since kmemleak allocations can now fail more
often, this patch also reduces the verbosity by passing __GFP_NOWARN and
not dumping the stack trace when a kmemleak allocation fails.
