      drop_monitor: dont sleep in atomic context · bec4596b
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      drop_monitor calls several sleeping functions while in atomic context.
      
       BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:943

      Rework the logic to call the sleeping functions in right context.
      
      Use standard timer/workqueue api to let system chose any cpu to perform
      the allocation and netlink send.
      
      Also avoid a loop if reset_per_cpu_data() cannot allocate memory :
      use mod_timer() to wait 1/10 second before next try.
