tty: n_gsm: fix sleep-in-atomic-context bug in gsm_control_send

The function gsm_dlci_t1() is a timer handler that runs in an
atomic context, but it calls "kzalloc(..., GFP_KERNEL)" that
may sleep. As a result, the sleep-in-atomic-context bug will
happen. The process is shown below:

gsm_dlci_t1()
 gsm_dlci_open()
  gsm_modem_update()
   gsm_modem_upd_via_msc()
    gsm_control_send()
     kzalloc(sizeof(.., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep

This patch changes the gfp_t parameter of kzalloc() from GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_ATOMIC in order to mitigate the bug.
