In commit fadbe0cd5292851608e2e01b91d9295fa287b9fe entitled "staging:
rtl8188eu:Remove rtw_zmalloc(), wrapper for kzalloc()", the author failed
to note that the original code in the wrapper tested whether the caller
could sleep, and set the flags argument to kzalloc() appropriately.
After the patch, GFP_KERNEL is used unconditionally. Unfortunately, several
of the routines may be entered from an interrupt routine and generate
a BUG splat for every such call. Routine rtw_sitesurvey_cmd() is used in the
example below:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:1240
