set_filter_wr is requesting __GFP_NOFAIL allocation although it can
return ENOMEM without any problems obviously (t4_l2t_set_switching does
that already). So the non-failing requirement is too strong without any
obvious reason. Drop __GFP_NOFAIL and reorganize the code to have the
failure paths easier.

The same applies to _c4iw_write_mem_dma_aligned which uses __GFP_NOFAIL
and then checks the return value and returns -ENOMEM on failure. This
doesn't make any sense what so ever. Either the allocation cannot fail
or it can.

del_filter_wr seems to be safe as well because the filter entry is not
marked as pending and the return value is propagated up the stack up to
c4iw_destroy_listen.

I think we need to use kfree_skb() than kfree() for memory allocated by alloc_skb().

Ditto.
