[PATCH] drivers: base: power: Fix GFP_KERNEL in spinlock context

From: shrikant . maurya
Date: Tue Dec 12 2017 - 08:46:01 EST


From: Shrikant Maurya <shrikant.maurya@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

As reported by Jia-Ju Bai (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/11/872):
API's are using GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory which may sleep.

To ensure atomicity such allocations must be avoided in critical
sections under spinlock.
Fixed by replacing GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC.
