Subject: [PATCH 3.2 043/131] netlabel: use GFP flags from caller instead
 of GFP_ATOMIC

3.2.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 64b5fad526f63e9b56752a7e8e153b99ec0ddecd upstream.

This function takes a GFP flags as a parameter, but they are never used.
We don't take a lock in this function so there is no reason to prefer
GFP_ATOMIC over the caller's GFP flags.

There is only one caller, cipso_v4_map_cat_rng_ntoh(), and it passes
GFP_ATOMIC as the GFP flags so this doesn't change how the code works.
It's just a cleanup.
