Subject: [PATCH] bluetooth: btmrvl_sdio: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in btmrvl_sdio_card_to_host()

btmrvl_sdio_card_to_host() is never called in atomic context.
It 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.
