Subject: [patch V2 08/36] net: e100: Remove in_interrupt() usage and pointless
 GFP_ATOMIC allocation

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

e100_hw_init() invokes e100_self_test() only if in_interrupt() returns
false as e100_self_test() uses msleep() which requires sleepable task
context. The in_interrupt() check is incomplete because in_interrupt()
cannot catch callers from contexts which have just preemption or interrupts
disabled.

e100_hw_init() is invoked from:

  - e100_loopback_test() which clearly is sleepable task context as the
    function uses msleep() itself.

  - e100_up() which clearly is sleepable task context as well because it
    invokes e100_alloc_cbs() abd request_irq() which both require sleepable
    task context due to GFP_KERNEL allocations and mutex_lock() operations.

Remove the pointless in_interrupt() check.

As a side effect of this analysis it turned out that e100_rx_alloc_list()
which is only invoked from e100_loopback_test() and e100_up() pointlessly
uses a GFP_ATOMIC allocation. The next invoked function e100_alloc_cbs() is
using GFP_KERNEL already.

Change the allocation mode in e100_rx_alloc_list() to GFP_KERNEL as well.
