pid_list_fill_irq() runs via irq_work.
When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is disabled, it would run in irq_context.
so it shouldn't sleep while memory allocation.

Change gfp flags from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_NOWAIT to prevent sleep in
irq_work.

This change wouldn't impact functionality in practice because the worst-size
is 2K.

Looks good to me.
