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

kmap_atomic() has been deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in
swapfile.c.

kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also
disables page-faults and preemption (the latter only in !PREEMPT_RT
kernels). The kernel virtual addresses returned by these two API are
only valid in the context of the callers (i.e., they cannot be handed to
other threads).

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread and CPU local like
in kmap_atomic(); however, they can handle page-faults and can be called
from any context (including interrupts). The tasks that call
kmap_local_page() can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run
again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and are still valid.

In mm/swapfile.c, the blocks of code between the mappings and un-mappings
do not depend on the above-mentioned side effects of kmap_atomic(), so
that the mere replacements of the old API with the new one is all that is
required (i.e., there is no need to explicitly call pagefault_disable()
and/or preempt_disable()).
