i40iw_make_listen_node() is never called in atomic context.
i40iw_make_listen_node() is only called by i40iw_create_listen, which is
set as ".create_listen" in struct iw_cm_verbs.
Despite never getting called from atomic context,
i40iw_make_listen_node() calls kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC,
which does not sleep for allocation.
GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL,
which can sleep and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation.
This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it.
