staging: r8188eu: Use kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC in atomic context
Use the GFP_ATOMIC flag of kzalloc() with two memory allocation in
report_del_sta_event(). This function is called while holding spinlocks,
therefore it is not allowed to sleep. With the GFP_ATOMIC type flag, the
allocation is high priority and must not sleep.
This issue is detected by Smatch which emits the following warning:
"drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c:6848 report_del_sta_event()
warn: sleeping in atomic context".
After the change, the post-commit hook output the following message:
"CHECK: Prefer kzalloc(sizeof(*pcmd_obj)...) over
kzalloc(sizeof(struct cmd_obj)...)".
According to the above "CHECK", use the preferred style in the first
kzalloc().
Fixes: 79f712ea994d ("staging: r8188eu: Remove wrappers for kalloc() and kzalloc()")
Fixes: 15865124feed ("staging: r8188eu: introduce new core dir for RTL8188eu driver")
