Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/5] sfc: Use kmap_local_page() instead of kmap_atomic()

kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
Replace kmap_atomic() and kunmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()
and kunmap_local() respectively.

Note that kmap_atomic() disables preemption and page-fault processing, but
kmap_local_page() doesn't. Converting the former to the latter is safe only
if there isn't an implicit dependency on preemption and page-fault handling
being disabled, which does appear to be the case here.

Also note that the page being mapped is not allocated by the driver, and so
the driver doesn't know if the page is in normal memory. This is the reason
kmap_local_page() is used as opposed to page_address().

I don't have hardware, so this change has only been compile tested.
