PCI: hv: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in new_pcichild_device()

new_pcichild_device() is not called in atomic context.

The call chain ending up at new_pcichild_device() is:
[1] new_pcichild_device() <- pci_devices_present_work()
pci_devices_present_work() is only set in INIT_WORK().

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
new_pcichild_device() calls kzalloc with GFP_ATOMIC,
which waits busily for allocation.

GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL
to avoid busy waiting.
