dma-debug: change allocation mode from GFP_NOWAIT to GFP_ATIOMIC 

[ Upstream commit 84bc4f1dbb ]

We observed the error "cacheline tracking ENOMEM, dma-debug disabled"
during a light system load (copying some files). The reason for this error
is that the dma_active_cacheline radix tree uses GFP_NOWAIT allocation -
so it can't access the emergency memory reserves and it fails as soon as
anybody reaches the watermark.

This patch changes GFP_NOWAIT to GFP_ATOMIC, so that it can access the
emergency memory reserves.
