netfilter: ipset: Fix sleeping memory allocation in atomic context
Commit
00590fdd5be0 introduced RCU locking in list type and in
doing so introduced a memory allocation in list_set_add, which
is done in an atomic context, due to the fact that ipset rcu
list modifications are serialised with a spin lock. The reason
why we can't use a mutex is that in addition to modifying the
list with ipset commands, it's also being modified when a
particular ipset rule timeout expires aka garbage collection.
This gc is triggered from set_cleanup_entries, which in turn
is invoked from a timer thus requiring the lock to be bh-safe.
Concretely the following call chain can lead to "sleeping function
called in atomic context" splat:
call_ad -> list_set_uadt -> list_set_uadd -> kzalloc(, GFP_KERNEL).
And since GFP_KERNEL allows initiating direct reclaim thus
potentially sleeping in the allocation path.
To fix the issue change the allocation type to GFP_ATOMIC, to
correctly reflect that it is occuring in an atomic context.
