From: Jia-Ju Bai baijiaju1990@163.com

[ Upstream commit 162bd5e5fd921785077b5862d8f2ffabe2fe11e5 ]

The driver may sleep under a spinlock. The function call path is: hwsim_get_radio_nl (acquire the spinlock) nlmsg_new(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.

This bug is found by my static analysis tool(DSAC) and checked by my code review.
