Subject: [PATCH] isdn: hisax: callc: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in init_PStack()

init_PStack() is never called in atomic context.
It calls kmalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC, which is not necessary.
GFP_ATOMIC can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
