[PATCH] gpu: drm: drm_mm: Fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in show_leaks()

The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock.

The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16 are:

[FUNC] kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c, 130: 
	kmalloc in show_leaks
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c, 913: 
	show_leaks in drm_mm_takedown
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_vma_manager.c, 107: 
	drm_mm_takedown in drm_vma_offset_manager_destroy
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_vma_manager.c, 106: 
	_raw_write_lock in drm_vma_offset_manager_destroy

[FUNC] kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c, 130: 
	kmalloc in show_leaks
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c, 913: 
	show_leaks in drm_mm_takedown
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_vram_mgr.c, 71: 
	drm_mm_takedown in amdgpu_vram_mgr_fini
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_vram_mgr.c, 70: 
	spin_lock in amdgpu_vram_mgr_fini

[FUNC] kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c, 130: 
	kmalloc in show_leaks
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c, 913: 
	show_leaks in drm_mm_takedown
drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_bo_manager.c, 128: 
	drm_mm_takedown in ttm_bo_man_takedown
drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_bo_manager.c, 126: 
	spin_lock in ttm_bo_man_takedown

To fix this bug, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.

This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
