mm, slab: check GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK before alloc_pages in kmalloc_order
kmalloc cannot allocate memory from HIGHMEM.  Allocating large amounts of
memory currently bypasses the check and will simply leak the memory when
page_address() returns NULL.  To fix this, factor the GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK
check out of slab & slub, and call it from kmalloc_order() as well.  In
order to make the code clear, the warning message is put in one place.
