[RFC PATCH] clk: fix possible circular locking in clk_notifier_register()
From: Sean Nyekjaer
Date: Mon Jun 07 2021 - 07:04:11 EST
Allocating memory with prepare_lock mutex held makes lockdep unhappy
when memory pressure makes the system do fs_reclaim on eg. rawnand using
clk.
Fix this by allocating with GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL.

Could have used GPF_NOWAIT, but it seems wrong during memory reclaim.
