[PATCH v2 1/3] rtl8188eu: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic bug in rtw_disassoc_cmd

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Sun Oct 08 2017 - 07:53:23 EST


The driver may sleep under a spinlock, and the function call path is:
rtw_set_802_11_bssid(acquire the spinlock)
rtw_disassoc_cmd
kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
