vringh: replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()
kmap_atomic() is deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page() since commit f3ba3c71 ("mm/highmem: Provide kmap_local*"). With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take page-faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). Furthermore, the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid. kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also disables page-faults and preemption (the latter only for !PREEMPT_RT kernels, otherwise it only disables migration). The code within the mappings/un-mappings in getu16_iotlb() and putu16_iotlb() don't depend on the above-mentioned side effects of kmap_atomic(), so that mere replacements of the old API with the new one is all that is required (i.e., there is no need to explicitly add calls to pagefault_disable() and/or preempt_disable()). This commit reuses a "boiler plate" commit message from Fabio, who has already did this change in several places. Cc: "Fabio M. De Francesco" <fmdefrancesco@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Fabio M.
