Subject: [PATCH 2/2] usb: gadget: r8a66597: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic-context bugs in r8a66597_queue()

The driver may sleep in an interrupt handler.
The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16.7 is:

[FUNC] r8a66597_queue(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/r8a66597-udc.c, 1193: 
		r8a66597_queue in get_status
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/r8a66597-udc.c, 1301: 
		get_status in setup_packet
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/r8a66597-udc.c, 1381: 
		setup_packet in irq_control_stage
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/r8a66597-udc.c, 1508: 
		irq_control_stage in r8a66597_irq (interrupt handler)

To fix this bug, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.

This bug is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC-2) and checked by
my code review.
