alloc_skb_with_frags uses __GFP_NORETRY for non-sleeping allocations which is just a noop and a little bit confusing. __GFP_NORETRY was added byed98df3361("net: use __GFP_NORETRY for high order allocations") to prevent from the OOM killer. Yet this was not enough becausefb05e7a89f("net: don't wait for order-3 page allocation") didn't want an excessive reclaim for non-costly orders so it made it completely NOWAIT while it preserved __GFP_NORETRY in place which is now redundant. Drop the pointless __GFP_NORETRY because this function is used as copy&paste source for other places.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
