Subject: [PATCH] bluetooth: bfusb: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in bfusb_send_frame()

bfusb_send_frame() is only set to hdev->send, and hdev->send() is never
called in atomic context.

bfusb_send_frame() calls bt_skb_alloc() with GFP_ATOMIC, which is not
necessary. GFP_ATOMIC can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
I also manually check the kernel code before reporting it.
