[PATCH] fs/afs/flock and fs/locks: Fix possible sleep-in-atomic bugs in posix_lock_file

[Jia-Ju Bai]

The kernel may sleep under a spinlock, and the function call paths are:
afs_do_unlk (acquire the spinlock)
  posix_lock_file
    posix_lock_inode (fs/locks.c)
      locks_get_lock_context
        kmem_cache_alloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

afs_do_setlk (acquire the spinlock)
  posix_lock_file
    posix_lock_inode (fs/locks.c)
      locks_get_lock_context
        kmem_cache_alloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix them, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
These bugs are found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
