[Intel-wired-lan] [patch V2 16/36] net: sfc: Use GFP_KERNEL in efx_ef10_try_update_nic_stats()

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy at linutronix.de>

efx_ef10_try_update_nic_stats_vf() is now only invoked from thread context
and can sleep after efx::stats_lock is dropped.

Change the allocation mode from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_KERNEL.
