net/drivers/i40e: suppress high order allocation warning
If we use RDMA over Intel X722 NICs we get complains about 3rd order
allocation in i40e_setup_tx_descriptors().
bi_size = sizeof(struct i40e_tx_buffer) * tx_ring->count;
sizeof(struct i40e_tx_buffer) == 40 bytes and
tx_ring->count can easily be I40E_DEFAULT_NUM_DESCRIPTORS == 512,
so total allocation size is 20480 bytes.
tx_ring is used for DMA, so we cannot switch to kvmalloc() here,
allocation happens on interface UP and on some parameters
change via ethtool, so it's not an often case,
so let's just suppress the warning here.
