After checking all possible call chains to aoenet_rcv(),
my tool finds that aoenet_rcv() is never called in atomic context,
namely never in an interrupt handler or holding a spinlock.
Thus GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary, and it can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.
This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
