From: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
The commit bf22e37a6413 ("mm: add vfree_atomic()") made vfree unsafe to
call in atomic context (unless the call came from an interrupt) and
introduced vfree_atomic that is safe to call in atomic context.
So, since we're holding locks when freeing line metadata, we need to
use the atomic version of vfree.
Fix this by introducing an atomic variant of pblk_mfree and
switching to that in pblk_line_meta_free.
