Subject: [PATCH] fs: nfs: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in nfs_access_add_cache

The driver may sleep under a rcu read lock, and function call path is:
nfs_permission (acquire the lock by rcu_read_lock)
  nfs_do_access
    nfs_access_add_cache
      kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, "GFP_KERNEL" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".
