xen: xen-pciback: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in xen_pcibk_config_quirks_init
xen_pcibk_config_quirks_init() is never called in atomic context. The call chains ending up at xen_pcibk_config_quirks_init() are: [1] xen_pcibk_config_quirks_init() <- xen_pcibk_config_init_dev() <- pcistub_init_device() <- pcistub_seize() <- pcistub_probe() [2] xen_pcibk_config_quirks_init() <- xen_pcibk_config_init_dev() <- pcistub_init_device() <- pcistub_init_devices_late() <- xen_pcibk_init() pcistub_probe() is only set as ".probe" in struct pci_driver. xen_pcibk_init() is is only set as a parameter of module_init(). These functions are not called in atomic context. Despite never getting called from atomic context, xen_pcibk_config_quirks_init() calls kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC, which does not sleep for allocation. GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL, which can sleep and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation.
