Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: intel: igb: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in igb_sw_init()

igb_sw_init() is never called in atomic context.
It calls kzalloc() and kcalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC, which is not necessary.
GFP_ATOMIC can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
