At ibm vtpm initialzation, tpm_ibmvtpm_probe() registers its interrupt handler, ibmvtpm_interrupt, which calls ibmvtpm_crq_process to allocate memory for rtce buffer. The current code uses 'GFP_KERNEL' as the type of kernel memory allocation, which resulted a warning at kernel/lockdep.c. This patch uses 'GFP_ATOMIC' instead so that the allocation is high-priority and does not sleep.
