To avoid deadlock, do not call blocking functions with spinlocks held.
Replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC, as the latter will fail if the heap
doesn't have enough free pages but will not sleep and hence deadlock can
be avoided.

Is there any other way this can be fixed as it is better to avoid GFP_ATOMIC?
