mm: vmalloc: avoid warn_alloc noise caused by fatal signal

commit f349b15e183d6956f1b63d6ff57849ff10c7edd5 upstream.

There're some suspicious warn_alloc on my test serer, for example,

[13366.518837] warn_alloc: 81 callbacks suppressed

This failure really confuse me as there're still lots of available pages.
Finally I figured out it was caused by a fatal signal.  When a process is
allocating memory via vm_area_alloc_pages(), it will break directly even
if it hasn't allocated the requested pages when it receives a fatal
signal.  In that case, we shouldn't show this warn_alloc, as it is
useless.  We only need to show this warning when there're really no enough
pages.
