[PATCH] hv: Fix unnecessary sleeping in hv_synic_alloc

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Mon Dec 18 2017 - 03:09:08 EST


The kzalloc function is called with GFP_ATOMIC.
But according to driver call graph, it is not in atomic context,
namely no spinlock is held nor in an interrupt handler.

This GFP_ATOMIC is unnecessary, and replace with GFP_KERNEL.
