[PATCH v2] net: dccp: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in dccp_init

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Mon Apr 09 2018 - 21:15:18 EST


dccp_init() is never called in atomic context.
This function is only set as a parameter of module_init().

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
dccp_init() calls __get_free_pages() 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.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it.
