Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 013/254] USB: opticon: fix non-atomic allocation in write path

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit e681286de221af78fc85db9222b6a203148c005a upstream.

Write may be called from interrupt context so make sure to use
GFP_ATOMIC for all allocations in write.

Fixes: 0d930e51cfe6 ("USB: opticon: Add Opticon OPN2001 write support")
