ipoib_mcast_alloc is called only in atomic context,
hence removing the extra check.

Hi, 
Even if in future, if there are some functions expected to call it in normal context(not atomic),
we can pass the GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC directly to function call instead of passing 0 and 1,
which later again need to be compared in order to change it to GFP_KERNEL and GFP_ATOMIC.
Please let me know if there are better ways to improve it.
