Currently we're using GFP_KERNEL, however there are some path(s) where we can hold some spinlocks, specifically bond->curr_slave_lock: [ 4.722916] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:965 [ 4.724438] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 940, name: ifup-eth [ 4.726034] 5 locks held by ifup-eth/940: ...snip...

As it's out of hot path and is a really rare event - change the gfp_t flags to GFP_ATOMIC to avoid sleeping under spinlock. v2: convert new notify calls to GFP_ATOMIC.
