ethernet: rocker: fix sleep in atomic context bug in neigh_timer_handler

The function neigh_timer_handler() is a timer handler that runs in an
atomic context. When used by rocker, neigh_timer_handler() calls
"kzalloc(.., GFP_KERNEL)" that may sleep. As a result, the sleep in
atomic context bug will happen. One of the processes is shown below:

ofdpa_fib4_add()
 ...
 neigh_add_timer()

(wait a timer)

neigh_timer_handler()
 neigh_release()
  neigh_destroy()
   rocker_port_neigh_destroy()
    rocker_world_port_neigh_destroy()
     ofdpa_port_neigh_destroy()
      ofdpa_port_ipv4_neigh()
       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.

Fixes: 00fc0c51e35b ("rocker: Change world_ops API and implementation to be switchdev independant")
