Subject: [PATCH] PM / OPP: cpufreq: Avoid sleeping while atomic

We allocate the cpufreq table after calling rcu_read_lock(),
which disables preemption. This causes scheduling while atomic
warnings. Use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL and update for
kcalloc while we're here.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:1246
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 80, name: modprobe

It would be nice to not do atomic allocations, but I guess the table could
change size?
