Subject: [PATCH 4.14 016/105] ibmvnic: Fix non-atomic memory allocation in IRQ context

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

------------------

[ Upstream commit 1d1bbc37f89b0559c9e913682f2489d89cfde6b8 ]

ibmvnic_reset allocated new reset work item objects in a non-atomic
context. This can be called from a tasklet, generating the output below.
Allocate work items with the GFP_ATOMIC flag instead.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:421
