This is not right fix. Now we have following call stack.

__vmalloc_node
__vmalloc_node_range
__vmalloc_node

Even if we remove a warning of __vmalloc_node_range, we still be able to see double warning
because we call __vmalloc_node recursively.

I haven't catch your point why twice warning is unacceptable though.
