SubjectRe: [PATCH] mm/slub: Add a dump_stack() to the unexpected GFP check

Actually, Michal pointed out on IRC a more relevant difference:

WARN() taints the kernel and we don't want that for GFP flags misuse.
Also, from looking at __warn(), it checks panic_on_warn and we explode
if set.

So no, we probably don't want WARN() here.
