    opp: cpu: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table
    
    After checking all possible call chains to
    dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table() here,
    my tool finds that this function is never called in atomic context,
    namely never in an interrupt handler or holding a spinlock.
    And dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table() calls dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count(),
    which calls mutex_lock that can sleep.
    It indicates that atmtcp_v_send() can call functions which may sleep.
    Thus GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary, and it can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.
    
    This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
