[PATCH 4/6] staging: rtl8192u: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in ieee80211_softmac_init

[Jia-Ju Bai]

ieee80211_softmac_init() is never called in atomic context.

The call chains ending up at ieee80211_softmac_init() is:
[1] ieee80211_softmac_init() <- alloc_ieee80211_rsl() <-
    rtl8192_usb_probe()

rtl8192_usb_probe() is set as ".probe" in struct usb_driver.

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
ieee80211_softmac_init() calls kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC,
which does not sleep for allocation.
GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL,
which can sleep and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it.
