Subject: [PATCH] drm: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic bug in show_leaks

The driver may sleep under a spinlock.
The function call path is:
drm_vma_offset_manager_destroy (acquire the spinlock)
  drm_mm_takedown
    show_leaks
      kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.

This bug is found by my static analysis tool(DSAC) and checked by my code review.
