Subject: [PATCH net] octeontx2-af: Fix QMEM struct memory allocation

Currently NIX, NPA queue context memory is being allocated using
GFP_KERNEL flag which inturns allocates from memory reserved for
CMA_DMA. Sizing CMA_DMA memory is getting difficult due to this
dependency, the more number of interfaces enabled the more the
CMA_DMA memory requirement.

To address this issue, GFP_KERNEL flag is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC,
with this memory will be allocated from unreserved memory.

Fixes: 7a37245ef23f ("octeontx2-af: NPA block admin queue init")
