The driver may sleep under a spinlock.
The function call path is:
tsi148_master_write \ tsi148_master_read (acquire the spinlock)
vme_register_error_handler
kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep
To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool(DSAC) and checked by my code review.
