From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>

[ Upstream commit d2ab7f00f4321370a8ee14e5630d4349fdacc42e ]

A possible call chain is as follow:
mwifiex_sdio_interrupt (sdio.c)
--> mwifiex_main_process (main.c)
--> mwifiex_process_cmdresp (cmdevt.c)
--> mwifiex_process_sta_cmdresp (sta_cmdresp.c)
--> mwifiex_ret_802_11_scan (scan.c)
--> mwifiex_parse_single_response_buf (scan.c)

'mwifiex_sdio_interrupt()' is an interrupt function.

Also note that 'mwifiex_ret_802_11_scan()' already uses GFP_ATOMIC.

So use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL when memory is allocated in
'mwifiex_parse_single_response_buf()'.

Fixes: 7c6fa2a843c5 ("mwifiex: use cfg80211 dynamic scan table and cfg80211_get_bss API")
or
Fixes: 601216e12c65e ("mwifiex: process RX packets in SDIO IRQ thread directly")
