Subject: [PATCH] mm/userfaultfd: Replace kmap/kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>

kmap() and kmap_atomic() are being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page() which is appropriate for any thread local context.[1]

A recent locking bug report with userfaultfd showed that the conversion
of these kmap_atomic()'s required care with regard to the prevention of
deadlock.[2]

Complete kmap conversion in userfaultfd by replacing the kmap() and
kmap_atomic() calls with kmap_local_page().  When replacing the
kmap_atomic() call ensure page faults continue to be disabled to support
the correct fall back behavior and add a comment to inform future souls
of the requirement.
