kvmalloc() now supports non-sleeping GFP flags, including the vmalloc fallback path. This means it may return vmalloc memory even for GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_NOWAIT allocations. Freeing such memory with kvfree() may then end up calling vfree(), which is not safe for non-sleeping contexts. Introduce kvfree_atomic() helper for such cases. It mirrors kvfree(), but uses vfree_atomic() for vmalloced memory.
