Subject: [PATCH] staging: r8188eu: use GFP_ATOMIC under spinlock

kmalloc() in function update_bcn_wps_ie() is called under a spinlock
so the allocation have to be atomic.

-> update_beacon() <- takes a spinlock
   -> update_bcn_vendor_spec_ie()
      -> update_bcn_wps_ie()

Fixes: 79f712ea994de ("staging: r8188eu: Remove wrappers for kalloc() and kzalloc()")
