The driver may sleep under a spinlock.
The function call path is:
qedi_cpu_offline (acquire the spinlock)
  qedi_fp_process_cqes
    qedi_mtask_completion
      qedi_process_tmf_resp
        kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.

This bug is found by my static analysis tool(DSAC) and checked by my code 
review.
