The function kzalloc here is not called in atomic context.
If nonblocking in efi_query_variable_store is true,
namely it is in atomic context, efi_query_variable_store will return before
this kzalloc is called.
Thus GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary, and it can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.
This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
