Subject: [GIT PULL] Kmap conversions for 5.12

From: David Sterba <dsterba@...e.cz>

Hi,

this pull request contains changes regarding kmap API use and eg.
conversion from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page.

The API belongs to memory management but to save cross-tree dependency
headaches we've agreed to take it through the btrfs tree because there
are some trivial conversions possible, while the rest will need some
time and getting the easy cases out of the way would be convenient.

The final patchset arrived shortly before merge window, which is not
perfect, but given that it's straightforward I don't think it's too
risky.

I've added it to my for-next branch and it's been in linux-next for more
than a week.  Meanwhile I've been testing it among my regular branches
with additional MM related debugging options.

The changes can be grouped:

- function exports, new helpers

- new VM_BUG_ON for additional verification; it's been discussed if it
  should be VM_BUG_ON or BUG_ON, the former was chosen due to
  performance reasons

- code replaced by relevant helpers

Please pull, thanks.
