3.19.8-ckt4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jingoo Han <jingoohan1 at gmail.com>

commit 294240ffe784e951dc2ef070da04fa31ef6db3a0 upstream.

When kzalloc() is called under spin_lock(), GFP_ATOMIC should be
used to avoid sleeping allocation.
The call tree is:
  of_pci_range_to_resource()
    --> pci_register_io_range() <-- takes spin_lock(&io_range_lock);
       --> kzalloc()
