Subject: [PATCH 3.18 063/121] mISDN: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug

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

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


[ Upstream commit 93818da5eed63fbc17b64080406ea53b86b23309 ]

The driver may sleep under a read spin lock, and the function call path is:
send_socklist (acquire the lock by read_lock)
  skb_copy(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

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