powerpc/pseries: avoid blocking in irq when queuing hotplug events
A couple of bugs in queue_hotplug_event(): 1. Unchecked kmalloc result which could lead to an oops. 2. Use of GFP_KERNEL allocations in interrupt context (this code's only caller is ras_hotplug_interrupt()). Use kmemdup to avoid open-coding the allocation+copy and check for failure; use GFP_ATOMIC for both allocations. Ultimately it probably would be better to avoid or reduce allocations in this path if possible.
