Subject: cpufreq: OPP: Avoid sleeping while atomic
From: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3c5445ce3a0c6d6935911212b735772af5115517 upstream.
We allocate the cpufreq table after calling rcu_read_lock(),
which disables preemption. This causes scheduling while atomic
warnings. Use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL and update for
kcalloc while we're here.
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:1246
