x86, ioapic: Fix potential resume deadlock

Fix a potential deadlock when resuming; here the calling
function has disabled interrupts, so we cannot sleep.

Change the memory allocation flag from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC.

TODO: We can do away with this memory allocation during resume
      by reusing the ioapic suspend/resume code that uses boot time
      allocated buffers, but we want to keep this -stable patch
      simple.
