Subject: [PATCH -next] PCI: Use GFP_ATOMIC in resource_alignment_store()

When allocating memory, the GFP_KERNEL cannot be used during the
spin_lock period. It may cause scheduling when holding spin_lock.

Fixes: f13755318675 ("PCI: Move pci_[get|set]_resource_alignment_param() into their callers")
