staging: rtl8192u: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in prism2_wep_init
prism2_wep_init() is never called in atomic context.
prism2_wep_init() is only set as ".init" in
struct ieee80211_crypto_ops.
The call chains ending up at "->init" function are:
[1] ->init() <- ieee80211_wpa_set_encryption() <-
ieee80211_wpa_supplicant_ioctl()
[2] ->init() <- ieee80211_wx_set_encode_ext_rsl() <-
r8192_wx_set_enc_ext()
[3] ->init() <- ieee80211_wx_set_encode_rsl() <-
r8192_wx_set_enc()
ieee80211_wpa_supplicant_ioctl(), r8192_wx_set_enc_ext() and
r8192_wx_set_enc() call mutex_lock(), which indicates these functions
are not called in atomic context.
Despite never getting called from atomic context,
prism2_wep_init() calls kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC,
which does not sleep for allocation.
GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL,
which can sleep and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation.
This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it
