    ixgbe: avoid sleeping allocation in ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa()
    
    [ Upstream commit aec806fb4afba5fe80b09e29351379a4292baa43 ]
    
    Change kzalloc() flags used in ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa() to GFP_ATOMIC, to
    avoid sleeping in IRQ context.
    
    Dan Carpenter, with the help of Smatch, has found following issue:
    The patch eda0333ac293: "ixgbe: add VF IPsec management" from Aug 13,
    2018 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static checker
    warning: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c:917 ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa()
            warn: sleeping in IRQ context
    
    The call tree that Smatch is worried about is:
    ixgbe_msix_other() <- IRQ handler
    -> ixgbe_msg_task()
       -> ixgbe_rcv_msg_from_vf()
          -> ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa()
    
    Fixes: eda0333ac293 ("ixgbe: add VF IPsec management")
