irqchip/gic-v4.1: Use GFP_ATOMIC flag in allocate_vpe_l1_table()

Booting the latest kernel with DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y on a GICv4.1 enabled
box, I get the following kernel splat:

It turned out that we're allocating memory using GFP_KERNEL (may sleep)
within the CPU hotplug notifier, which is indeed an atomic context. Bad
thing may happen if we're playing on a system with more than a single
CommonLPIAff group. Avoid it by turning this into an atomic allocation.
