To avoid interrupt for VQ trying to take same spinlock already taken by process 
context and resulting in deadlock. Looks like interrupts are already disabled in 
function call, see [1]. But still to protect with any future work.

Yes, GFP_ATOMIC should be right thing.

Same reason as discussed above. Data is shared between interrupt handler
and process context 'virtio-pmem_flush' function. To avoid a deadlock resulting 
between interrupt context and process context on same spinlock.

I think 'virtio_pmem_flush' can be called from atomic context.
