[PATCH v3] mwifiex: fix sleep in atomic context bugs caused by dev_coredumpv

[Duoming Zhou]

There are sleep in atomic context bugs when uploading device dump
data in mwifiex. The root cause is that dev_coredumpv could not
be used in atomic contexts, because it calls dev_set_name which
include operations that may sleep. The call tree shows execution
paths that could lead to bugs:

   (Interrupt context)
fw_dump_timer_fn
  mwifiex_upload_device_dump
    dev_coredumpv(..., GFP_KERNEL)
      dev_coredumpm()
        kzalloc(sizeof(*devcd), gfp); //may sleep
        dev_set_name
          kobject_set_name_vargs
            kvasprintf_const(GFP_KERNEL, ...); //may sleep
            kstrdup(s, GFP_KERNEL); //may sleep

In order to let dev_coredumpv support atomic contexts, this patch
changes the gfp_t parameter of kvasprintf_const and kstrdup in
kobject_set_name_vargs from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC. What's more,
In order to mitigate bug, this patch changes the gfp_t parameter
of dev_coredumpv from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC.
