NIXGE_MAX_JUMBO_FRAME_SIZE is over 9000 bytes and RX_BD_NUM 128. So this loop allocates more than 1 Mo of memory. Previous memory allocations in this function already use GFP_KERNEL, so use __netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() and an explicit GFP_KERNEL instead of a implicit GFP_ATOMIC. This gives more opportunities of successful allocation.
