Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [xarry]:Fixed an issue with memory allocated using the GFP_KERNEL flag in spinlocks

From: "xiaofeng.yan" <yanxiaofeng7@...com>

function xa_store_irq() has a spinlock as follows:
 xa_lock_irq()
   -->spin_lock_irq(&(xa)->xa_lock)
GFP_KERNEL flag could cause sleep.
So change GFP_KERNEL to  GFP_ATOMIC and Romve "gfp_t gfp" in function
static inline void *xa_store_irq(struct xarray *xa, unsigned long index,
                void *entry, gfp_t gfp)
