Subject: [[PATCH] 1/3] dma: imx-dma: fix slow path issue in prep_dma_cyclic

When perparing cyclic_dma buffers by the sound layer, it will dump the
following lockdep trace. The leading snd_pcm_action_single get called
with read_lock_irq called. To fix this, we change the kcalloc call from
GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC.
