[lvc-project] [PATCH] tee: shm: don't warn on an oversized page array in register_shm_helper()

register_shm_helper() sizes shm->pages from the length passed to
TEE_IOC_SHM_REGISTER and allocates it with kzalloc_objs(). A length above
2 GiB makes the array larger than the page allocator can serve in one
block (MAX_PAGE_ORDER), so it trips its order warning; on a panic_on_warn
kernel that is a panic.

The size comes from userspace and the request fails with -ENOMEM anyway,
so pass __GFP_NOWARN. kvzalloc_objs() would not help since kvmalloc
warns above INT_MAX as well.
