Memory allocations can not happen within regions with explicit disabled
preemption PREEMPT_RT. The problem is that the locking structures
underneath are sleeping locks.
Move the memory allocation outside of the preempt-disabled section. Keep
the GFP_ATOMIC for the allocation to behave like a "ememergncy
allocation".
