The use of atomic notifier causes sleeping in atomic context bug when the EPC core functions are used in the notifier chain. This is due to the use of epc->lock (mutex) in core functions protecting the concurrent use of EPC. So switch to blocking notifier for getting rid of the bug as it runs in non-atomic context and allows sleeping in notifier chain.
