[PATCH] firmware: memmap: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in firmware_map_add_hotplug

[Jia-Ju Bai]

After checking all possible call chains to firmware_map_add_hotplug(),
my tool finds that this function is never called in atomic context,
namely never in an interrupt handler or holding a spinlock.
I manually check the code, and find that
this function is only called by add_memory_resource() that calls 
mem_hotplug_begin(), and mem_hotplug_begin() calls mutex_lock() that
can sleep, so it indicates that firmware_map_add_hotplug()
can call function which can sleep.
Thus GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary, and it can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually audit the result.
