fs/ocfs2/dlm: Use GFP_ATOMIC under spin_lock

[David Sterba]

coccinelle check scripts/coccinelle/locks/call_kern.cocci found that
in fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmdomain.c an allocation with GFP_KERNEL is done
with locks held:

dlm_query_region_handler
  spin_lock(dlm_domain_lock)
    dlm_match_regions
      kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)

Change it to GFP_ATOMIC.

Switching to GFP_ATOMIC is the worst of all possible ways of "fixing"
this bug.  GFP_ATOMIC is *unreliable*.  We don't want to introduce
unreliability deep down inside our filesytems.  And fs maintainers who
don't want to make their filesystems less reliable shouldn't blindly
apply patches that do so :(


A reliable way of fixing this bug is below.  As an added bonus, it
makes the fs faster.

That sizeof() is 1K. It maybe better if we moved the kmalloc() here.

Note that this handler is only called during mount. If the alloc fails, the
mount fails. It's not the end of the world.

	Won't the stack-depth busybodies hate us for this?  I realize we
don't go much deeper from here, but it still is 1K of stack.
