kaweth_async_set_rx_mode() invokes kaweth_contol() and has two callers: - kaweth_open() which is invoked from preemptible context . - kaweth_start_xmit() which holds a spinlock and has bottom halfs disabled. If called from kaweth_start_xmit() kaweth_async_set_rx_mode() obviously cannot block, which means it can't call kaweth_control(). This is detected with an in_interrupt() check. Replace the in_interrupt() check in kaweth_async_set_rx_mode() with an argument which is set true by the caller if the context is safe to sleep, otherwise false. Now kaweth_control() is only called from preemptible context which means there is no need for GFP_ATOMIC allocations anymore. Replace it with usb_control_msg(). Cleanup the code a bit while at it. Finally remove kaweth_control() since the last user is gone.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
