4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> commit bc8acc214d3f1cafebcbcd101a695bbac716595d upstream. async_complete() in uss720.c is a completion handler function for the USB driver. So it should not sleep, but it is can sleep according to the function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16.

To fix these bugs, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. These bugs are found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
