MIPS: fix DMA contiguous allocation

Browse Source 
Recent changes to how GFP_ATOMIC is defined seems to have broken the
condition to use mips_alloc_from_contiguous() in
mips_dma_alloc_coherent().

I couldn't bottom out the exact change but I think it's this commit
d0164adc89f6 ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to
sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd").

GFP_ATOMIC has multiple bits set and the check for !(gfp & GFP_ATOMIC)
isn't enough.

The reason behind this condition is to check whether we can potentially
do a sleeping memory allocation.  Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() instead
which should be more robust.
