[PATCH] ipc/mqueue: use correct gfp flags in msg_insert

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Mon May 14 2012 - 17:04:22 EST


msg_insert() tries to allocate using GFP_KERNEL, while in both cases when it's called,
it's coming from an atomic context. Introduced by 7dd7edf ("ipc/mqueue: improve
performance of send/recv").

Use GFP_ATOMIC instead.

Also, fix up coding style in the kzalloc while we're there.
