From: Jia-Ju Bai baijiaju1990@163.com

[ Upstream commit 08880f8e08cbd814e870e9d3ab9530abc1bce226 ]

The driver may sleep under a spinlock, and the function call path is: rtw_set_802_11_bssid(acquire the spinlock) rtw_disassoc_cmd kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
