Subject: [PATCH 5.19 122/207] gve: Fix GFP flags when allocing pages

From: Shailend Chand <shailend@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 8ccac4edc8da764389d4fc18b1df740892006557 ]

Use GFP_ATOMIC when allocating pages out of the hotpath,
continue to use GFP_KERNEL when allocating pages during setup.

GFP_KERNEL will allow blocking which allows it to succeed
more often in a low memory enviornment but in the hotpath we do
not want to allow the allocation to block.
