mm: skip might_alloc() warnings when PF_MEMALLOC is set

might_alloc() catches invalid blocking allocations in contexts where
sleeping is not allowed.

However when PF_MEMALLOC is set, the page allocator already skips reclaim
and other blocking paths.  In such cases, a blocking gfp_mask does not
actually lead to blocking, so triggering might_alloc() splats is
misleading.

Adjust might_alloc() to skip warnings when the current task has
PF_MEMALLOC set, matching the allocator's actual blocking behaviour.
