[PATCH] scsi: target: iscsi: cxgbit: fix sleep-in-atomic-context bug in cxgbit_abort_conn

[Duoming Zhou]

The function iscsit_handle_time2retain_timeout() is a timer handler that
runs in an atomic context, but it calls "alloc_skb(0, GFP_KERNEL | ...)"
that may sleep. As a result, the sleep-in-atomic-context bug will happen.
The process is shown below:

iscsit_handle_time2retain_timeout()
 iscsit_close_session()
  iscsit_free_connection_recovery_entries()
   iscsit_free_cmd()
    __iscsit_free_cmd()
     cxgbit_unmap_cmd()
      cxgbit_abort_conn()
       alloc_skb(0, GFP_KERNEL | ...) //may sleep

This patch changes the gfp_t parameter of alloc_skb() from GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_ATOMIC in order to mitigate the bug.
