KVM: async_pf: do not warn on page allocation failures
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In async_pf we try to allocate with NOWAIT to get an element quickly
or fail. This code also handle failures gracefully. Lets silence
potential page allocation failures under load.

qemu-system-s39: page allocation failure: order:0,mode:0x2200000
[...]
