A recent patch which added an 'unlocked' version of rxe_alloc introduced a
bug causing kzalloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) to be called while holding a spin
lock. This patch corrects that error.

rxe_alloc_nl() should always be called while holding the pool->pool_lock
so the 2nd argument to kzalloc there should be GFP_ATOMIC.

rxe_alloc() prior to the change only locked the code around checking that
pool->state is RXE_POOL_STATE_VALID to avoid races between working threads
and a thread shutting down the rxe driver. This patch reverts rxe_alloc()
to this behavior so the lock is not held when kzalloc() is called.
