[CCID2]: Allocation in atomic context and simplify interface

1.) This fixes the following bug reported in syslog:

[ 4039.051658] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /usr/src/davem-2.6/mm/slab.c:3032

[ 4039.051848]  =======================

The problem was that GFP_KERNEL was used; fixed by using gfp_any().


2.) While at it, the interface of ccid2_hc_tx_alloc_seq() has been simplified:

   * ccid2_hc_tx_alloc_seq() is always called with an argument of CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN;

   * other code - ccid2_hc_tx_check_sanity() - even depends on the assumption that
     ccid2_hc_tx_alloc_seq() has been called with this particular size;

   * passing the `gfp_t' argument to ccid2_hc_tx_alloc_seq() is redundant with gfp_any().
