[PATCH 3/3] media: dvb-usb: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in usb_isoc_urb_init

[Jia-Ju Bai]

usb_isoc_urb_init() is never called in atomic context.

The call chains ending up at usb_isoc_urb_init() are:
[1] usb_isoc_urb_init() <- usb_urb_init()
	<- dvb_usb_adapter_stream_init() <- dvb_usb_adapter_init 
	<- dvb_usb_init() <- dvb_usb_device_init() <- xxx_probe()
xxx_probe including ttusb2_probe, vp7045_usb_probe, a800_probe, and so on.
These xxx_probe() functions are set as ".probe" in struct usb_driver.
And these functions are not called in atomic context.

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
usb_isoc_urb_init() calls usb_alloc_urb() with GFP_ATOMIC,
which does not sleep for allocation.
GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL,
which can sleep and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it.
