i40iw_l2param_change() is never called in atomic context. i40iw_make_listen_node() is only set as ".l2_param_change" in struct i40e_client_ops, and this function pointer is not called in atomic context. Despite never getting called from atomic context, i40iw_l2param_change() 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.
