Subject: [PATCH] PCI/P2PDMA: Fix a sleeping issue in a RCU read section

It is not allowed to sleep within a RCU read section, so use GFP_ATOMIC
instead of GFP_KERNEL here.

Fixes: ae21f835a5bd ("PCI/P2PDMA: Finish RCU conversion of pdev->p2pdma")
Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>
