While allocating for DMA descriptor, GFP_KERNEL flag is being used and this allocation happens within critical section with spinlock acquired. This generates a static checker warning. Use GFP_ATOMIC to prevent sleeping; and since this increases chances of allocation failure, add handling accordingly.
