[patch 17/45] USB: use GFP_NOIO in reset path

[Greg KH]

2.6.24-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Oliver Neukum <oliver@xxxxxxxxxx>

this function will run in the context of the scsi error handler thread.
It must use GFP_NOIO instead of GFP_KERNEL to avoid a possible
deadlock.
