[PATCH] powerpc/perf/vpa-dtl: use GFP_ATOMIC for DTL buffer allocation

[PATCH] powerpc/perf/vpa-dtl: use GFP_ATOMIC for DTL buffer allocation

[mdshahid03]

From: Mohammad Shahid <mdshahid03@gmail.com>

The DTL buffer is allocated while holding dtl_global_lock, which
is spinlock.

GFP_KERNEL allow direct memory reclaim and may sleep. Combining
GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC does not remove the direct reclaim.

Use GFP_ATOMIC alone to ensure the allocation does not sleep
while the spinlock is held.

The issue is reported by script coccinelle call_kern.cocci.
