Subject: [PATCH][net-next] nfp: flower: use GFP_KERNEL in idr_preload

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@...du.com>

idr_preload() is called in a sleepable context before acquiring a
spinlock. Change the allocation flag from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_KERNEL
to allow direct reclaim and improve allocation success rate under
memory pressure.
