[PATCH RFT] HID: sensor-hub: don't hold spin lock while calling kzalloc with GFP_KERNEL

STALE5130d

From: Axel Lin <hidden>

Subsystem: hid core layer, hid sensor hub drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Jonathan Cameron, Srinivas Pandruvada, Linus Torvalds

kzalloc might cause sleep, so don't hold spin lock while calling kzalloc with
GFP_KERNEL.
