tty: ipwireless: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in ipwireless_network_create
ipwireless_network_create() is never called in atomic context.
The call chain ending up at ipwireless_network_create() is:
[1] ipwireless_network_create() <- config_ipwireless() <-
ipwireless_attach()
ipwireless_attach() is only set as ".probe" in struct pcmcia_driver.
Despite never getting called from atomic context,
ipwireless_network_create() 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.
