Subject: [patch V4 8/8] x86/crashdump/32: Simplify copy_oldmem_page()

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

Replace kmap_atomic_pfn() with kmap_local_pfn() which is preemptible and
can take page faults.

Remove the indirection of the dump page and the related cruft which is not
longer required.
