[PATCH] Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in shash_setkey_unaligned

For the same reason, the orinoco driver may sleep in interrupt handler, 
and the function call path is:
orinoco_rx_isr_tasklet
  orinoco_rx
    orinoco_mic
      crypto_shash_setkey
        shash_setkey_unaligned
          kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)

To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
