[PATCH 2/6] spi/spi-pl022: Use GFP_NOWAIT for allocation from tasklet

tasklets don't allow invocation to sleeping routines. In configure_dma()
routine, sg_alloc_table() was called with GFP_KERNEL flag and so this causes
crash when called from tasklet.

Replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOWAIT to get this fixed.
