Subject: [PATCH] bluetooth: bpa10x: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in bpa10x_send_frame()

bpa10x_send_frame() is only set to hdev->send, and hdev->send() is never 
called in atomic context.

bpa10x_send_frame() calls usb_alloc_urb(), kmalloc() and usb_submit_urb() 
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.
