Subject: [PATCH v4] staging: rts5208: Convert kmap() to kmap_local_page()

The use of kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page()
where it is feasible.

With kmap_local_page(), the mapping is per thread, CPU local and not
globally visible. Therefore rtsx_stor_access_xfer_buf() is a function
where the use of kmap_local_page() in place of kmap() is correctly
suited.

Convert to kmap_local_page() but, instead of open coding it, use the
helpers memcpy_to_page() and memcpy_from_page().

Make a minor change to a comment related to scatter-gather.

---

v1 -> v2: Rework the commit message and use the appropriate helpers
instead of open coding the use of kmap_local_page()/kunmap_local_page().
(Thanks to Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>).

v2 -> v3: Use memcpy_{to,from}_page() arguments correctly.
(Thanks to Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>).

v3 -> v4: According to a suggestion by Ira Weiny, change the test
of a comment related to the use of scatter-gather.
