sch_gred: prefer GFP_KERNEL allocations
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In control path, its better to use GFP_KERNEL allocations where
possible.

Before taking qdisc spinlock, we preallocate memory just in case we'll
need it in gred_change_vq()

This is a followup to commit 3f1e6d3 (sch_gred: should not use
GFP_KERNEL while holding a spinlock)
