set_task_ioprio() is only called by SYSCALL_DEFINE3(), ext4_fill_super(),
ext4_remount() and reada_start_machine_worker().
And these functions are not called in atomic context.
set_task_ioprio() calls get_task_io_context with GFP_ATOMIC, which is
unnecessary. GFP_ATOMIC can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.
This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
I also manually check the kernel code before reporting it.
