[PATCH v2] regmap: Allocate buffers with GFP_ATOMIC when fast_io == true

From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Fri Sep 11 2015 - 19:37:15 EST


If a regmap is using fast_io, allocate the scratch buffer in
regmap_bulk_write() with GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL.
Otherwise we may schedule while atomic.

Changes since v1:
* Only modify allocations in regmap_bulk_write() path
