[PATCH net] octeontx2: use GFP_ATOMIC for QMEM dma_alloc_attrs

[Ratheesh Kannoth]

From: Sunil Goutham <sgoutham@marvell.com>

Queue context memory for NIX/NPA and other qmem_alloc() users in the
AF and NIC drivers is allocated via dma_alloc_attrs() with
GFP_KERNEL. On platforms with CMA enabled, each attached interface can
consume a large contiguous allocation from the CMA pool, making CMA
sizing grow with the number of enabled interfaces.

Use GFP_ATOMIC for the DMA backing allocation in qmem_alloc() to reduce
pressure on the CMA pool when many interfaces are enabled.

Fixes: 73d33dbc0723 ("octeontx2-af: Use DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS attribute in DMA alloc")
