NFC: netlink: fix sleep in atomic bug when firmware download timeout
There are sleep in atomic bug that could cause kernel panic during firmware download process. The root cause is that nlmsg_new with GFP_KERNEL parameter is called in fw_dnld_timeout which is a timer handler. The call trace is shown below: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:265 Call Trace: kmem_cache_alloc_node __alloc_skb nfc_genl_fw_download_done call_timer_fn __run_timers.part.0 run_timer_softirq __do_softirq ... The nlmsg_new with GFP_KERNEL parameter may sleep during memory allocation process, and the timer handler is run as the result of a "software interrupt" that should not call any other function that could sleep. This patch changes allocation mode of netlink message from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC in order to prevent sleep in atomic bug. The GFP_ATOMIC flag makes memory allocation operation could be used in atomic context.
