Use the GFP_ATOMIC flag of kzalloc() with two memory allocation in rtw_set_key()
because it is not allowed to sleep while it executes in atomic context.
With the GFP_ATOMIC type flag, the allocation is high priority and thus it
cannot sleep.
This issue is detected by Smatch which emits the following warning:
"drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme.c:1603 rtw_set_key() warn: sleeping in atomic context".
