[PATCH] ath9k: fix possible sleep-in-atomic-context bugs in hif_usb_send_regout()

The driver may sleep while holding a spinlock.
The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux 4.19 is:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hif_usb.c, 108: 
	usb_alloc_urb(GFP_KERNEL) in hif_usb_send_regout
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hif_usb.c, 470: 
	hif_usb_send_regout in hif_usb_send

	htc_issue_send in htc_send
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_beacon.c, 250: 
	htc_send in ath9k_htc_send_beacon
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_beacon.c, 207: 
	spin_lock_bh in ath9k_htc_send_beacon

	kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) in hif_usb_send_regout
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hif_usb.c, 470: 
	hif_usb_send_regout in hif_usb_send
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c, 34: 
	(FUNC_PTR)hif_usb_send in htc_issue_send
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c, 295: 
	htc_issue_send in htc_send

	htc_send in ath9k_htc_send_beacon
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_beacon.c, 207: 
	spin_lock_bh in ath9k_htc_send_beacon

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hif_usb.c, 127: 
	usb_submit_urb(GFP_KERNEL) in hif_usb_send_regout
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hif_usb.c, 470: 
	hif_usb_send_regout in hif_usb_send
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c, 34: 
	(FUNC_PTR)hif_usb_send in htc_issue_send
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c, 295: 
	htc_issue_send in htc_send
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_beacon.c, 250: 
	htc_send in ath9k_htc_send_beacon
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_beacon.c, 207: 
	spin_lock_bh in ath9k_htc_send_beacon

(FUNC_PTR) means a function pointer is called.

To fix these bugs, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by myself.
