Subject: [PATCH] block: blk-mq-sched: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in blk_mq_sched_assign_ioc

The function ioc_create_icq here is not called in atomic context.
Thus GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary, and it can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
