Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] Move sub crq init out of interrupt context

The sub crqs are currently intialized in interrupt context when
handling a crq response fromn the vios server. There is no reason
they must be initialized there.

Moving the initialization of the sub crqs to the ibmvnic_init routine
allows us to do the initialization outside of interrupt context and
make all of the allocations with GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC.
