tipc_mon_create() is never called in atomic context.
The call chain ending up at dn_route_init() is:
[1] tipc_mon_create() <- tipc_enable_bearer() <- tipc_nl_bearer_enable()
tipc_nl_bearer_enable() calls rtnl_lock(), which indicates this function
is not called in atomic context.
Despite never getting called from atomic context,
tipc_mon_create() 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.

v2:
* Modify the description of GFP_ATOMIC in v1.
Thank Eric for good advice.
