Subject: [PATCH] HID: usbhid: Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC when applicable

There is no need to use GFP_ATOMIC when calling 'usb_alloc_coherent()'
here. These calls are done from probe functions and using GFP_KERNEL should
be safe.
The memory itself is used within some interrupts, but it is not a
problem, once it has been allocated.
