After checking all possible call chains to crypto_report here,
my tool finds that crypto_report is never called in atomic context.
And crypto_report calls crypto_alg_match which calls down_read,
thus it proves again that crypto_report 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.
