[ Upstream commit 343eba69c6968190d8654b857aea952fed9a6749 ]

The kernel may sleep under a rcu read lock in tipc_msg_reverse, and the
function call path is:
tipc_l2_rcv_msg (acquire the lock by rcu_read_lock)
tipc_rcv
tipc_sk_rcv
tipc_msg_reverse
pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep
tipc_node_broadcast
tipc_node_xmit_skb
tipc_node_xmit
tipc_sk_rcv
tipc_msg_reverse
pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, "GFP_KERNEL" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".
