i40iw_make_listen_node() is never called in atomic context. i40iw_make_listen_node() is only called by i40iw_create_listen, which is set as ".create_listen" in struct iw_cm_verbs.
Despite never getting called from atomic context, i40iw_make_listen_node() calls kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC, which does not sleep for allocation. GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL, which can sleep and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation. This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself. And I also manually check it.
