xen: xen-pciback: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in pcistub_device_alloc
pcistub_device_alloc() is never called in atomic context. The call chain ending up at pcistub_device_alloc() is: [1] pcistub_device_alloc() <- pcistub_seize() <- pcistub_probe() pcistub_probe() is only set as ".probe" in struct pci_driver. This function is not called in atomic context. Despite never getting called from atomic context, pcistub_device_alloc() 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.
