x86, ioapic: Fix potential resume deadlock
commit b64ce24daffb634b5b3133a2e411bd4de50654e8 upstream. Fix a potential deadlock when resuming; here the calling function has disabled interrupts, so we cannot sleep. Change the memory allocation flag from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC. TODO: We can do away with this memory allocation during resume by reusing the ioapic suspend/resume code that uses boot time allocated buffers, but we want to keep this -stable patch simple.
