Subject: [PATCH 1/3] media: usb: em28xx: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in em28xx_audio_urb_init()

em28xx_audio_urb_init() is never called in atomic context.
It calls kcalloc(), usb_alloc_urb() and usb_alloc_coherent() 
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.
