[042/272] staging: hv: fix netvsc sleeping while atomic

[Greg KH]

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

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Timo=20Ter=C3=A4s?= <timo.teras@xxxxxx>

commit d70c673153d42e8aefd5ac296c8159ef222d076b upstream.

The channel callbacks are called directly from vmbus_event_dpc
which runs in tasklet context. These callbacks need to use
GFP_ATOMIC.
