[PATCH] uml: use GFP_ATOMIC for allocations under spinlocks.
setup_initial_poll is only called with sigio_lock() held, so use appropriate
allocation.
Also, parse_chan() can also be called when holding a spinlock (see line_open()
-> parse_chan_pair()).
I have sporadic problems (spinlock taken twice, with spinlock debugging on UP)
which could be caused by a sequence like "take spinlock, alloc and go to
sleep, take again the spinlock in the other thread".
