Switching to GFP_ATOMIC is undesirable - GFP_ATOMIC is less reliable
and can drain memory reserves which are required by code which *must*
use GFP_ATOMIC, such as interrupt handlers.

Why not just make `hdr' a local?  It isn't very large and the code
becomes smaller and faster.


From: Andrew Morton <a...@linux-foundation.org>
Subject: drivers/rapidio/rio_cm.c: avoid GFP_KERNEL in atomic context

riocm_send_close() is called from rio_cm_shutdown() under
spin_lock_bh(idr_lock), but riocm_send_close() uses a GFP_KERNEL
allocation.

Fix this by making `hdr' a local variable rather than obtaining it
via kmalloc().
