zd1201_probe() is never called in atomic context.
zd1201_fw_upload() is only called by zd1201_probe(),
which is only set as ".probe" in struct usb_driver.
Despite never getting called from atomic context,
zd1201_fw_upload() calls kmalloc() 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.
