Subject: xen-netback: Use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate hash

From: Anoob Soman <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 9f674e48c13dcbc31ac903433727837795b81efe ]

Allocation of new_hash, inside xenvif_new_hash(), always happen in softirq context, so use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL for new hash allocation.
