[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 146/156] rtl8188eu: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic bug in rtw_disassoc_cmd
From: alexander . levin

[ Upstream commit 08880f8e08cbd814e870e9d3ab9530abc1bce226 ]
The driver may sleep under a spinlock, and the function call path is:
rtw_set_802_11_bssid(acquire the spinlock)
rtw_disassoc_cmd
kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep
To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
