Subject: [PATCH 4.9 010/172] net: tipc: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in tipc_msg_reverse

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@....com>


[ Upstream commit 343eba69c6968190d8654b857aea952fed9a6749 ]

The kernel may sleep under a rcu read lock in tipc_msg_reverse, and the
function call path is:
tipc_l2_rcv_msg (acquire the lock by rcu_read_lock)
  tipc_rcv
    tipc_sk_rcv
      tipc_msg_reverse
        pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep
tipc_node_broadcast
  tipc_node_xmit_skb
    tipc_node_xmit
      tipc_sk_rcv
        tipc_msg_reverse
          pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, "GFP_KERNEL" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".
