Subject: [PATCH] virtio-crypto: Do not use GFP_ATOMIC when not needed

There is no need to use GFP_ATOMIC here. GFP_KERNEL is already used for
another memory allocation just the line after.

This patch is speculative ! ! !

Maybe it is the other memory allocation that should use GFP_ATOMIC.

Review with care !
