Calling scb = kzalloc(i, GFP_DMA) is not the right idea. If this is
what we really wanted it would be better to specify it explicitly as
kzalloc(i, GFP_NOWAIT | GFP_DMA). But in this case it's OK to wait so
I changed it to use GFP_KERNEL. Also I added a __GFP_NOWARN, since we
expect the allocation to fail occasionaly (and we just try allocate a
smaller amount on the next time through the loop).
