Subject: [PATCH 5.15 033/179] staging: r8188eu: use GFP_ATOMIC under spinlock

From: Michael Straube <straube.linux@...il.com>

commit 4a293eaf92a510ff688dc7b3f0815221f99c9d1b upstream.

In function rtw_report_sec_ie() kzalloc() is called under a spinlock,
so the allocation have to be atomic.

Call tree:

-> rtw_select_and_join_from_scanned_queue() <- takes a spinlock
   -> rtw_joinbss_cmd()
      -> rtw_restruct_sec_ie()
         -> rtw_report_sec_ie()
