Subject: [PATCH] drivers/message/i2o/device.c: remove redundant GFP_ATOMIC
 from kmalloc

drivers/message/i2o/device.c:i2o_parm_field_get() unnecessarily passes 
GFP_ATOMIC (along with GFP_KERNEL) to kmalloc() from a context that is not 
atomic. Remove the pointless GFP_ATOMIC.

 	Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma <ssatyam@....iitk.ac.in>
