The commit message of commit 57bf5a8963f8 ("dma-mapping: clear harmful
GFP_* flags in common code") says that probably warn when we encounter
harmful GFP_* flags which we clean -- because the client code is best
case silly if not buggy. I concur with that.
Let's warn once when we encounter silly GFP_* flags. The guys caring
about the respective client code will hopefully fix these soon.

I'm not too happy with my warning message. Suggestions welcome!
