Subject: lib: dhry: fix sleeping allocations inside non-preemptable section
Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2023 16:54:04 +0200

The Smatch static checker reports the following warnings:

    lib/dhry_run.c:38 dhry_benchmark() warn: sleeping in atomic context
    lib/dhry_run.c:43 dhry_benchmark() warn: sleeping in atomic context

Indeed, dhry() does sleeping allocations inside the non-preemptable
section delimited by get_cpu()/put_cpu().

Fix this by using atomic allocations instead.
Add error handling, as atomic these allocations may fail.
