Subject: [PATCH 5.0 05/95] staging: wilc1000: Avoid GFP_KERNEL allocation from atomic context.

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SAKURA.ne.jp>

commit ae26aa844679cdf660e12c7055f958cb90889eb6 upstream.

Since wilc_set_multicast_list() is called with dev->addr_list_lock
spinlock held, we can't use GFP_KERNEL memory allocation.

Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SAKURA.ne.jp>
Fixes: e624c58cf8eb ("staging: wilc1000: refactor code to avoid use of wilc_set_multicast_list global")
