um: net: replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC when spinlock is held
since GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC while spinlock is held, as code while holding a spinlock should be atomic. GFP_KERNEL may sleep and can cause deadlock, where as GFP_ATOMIC may fail but certainly avoids deadlockdex f70dd54..d898f6c 100644 Signed-off-by: Saurabh Sengar <saurabh.truth@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
