From: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu at intel.com>
The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page()[1].
The main difference between atomic and local mappings is that local
mappings doesn't disable page faults or preemption.
In drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_shmem.c, the function shmem_pwrite() need to
disable pagefault to eliminate the potential recursion fault[2]. But
here __copy_from_user_inatomic() doesn't need to disable preemption and
local mapping is valid for sched in/out.
So it can use kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() with
pagefault_disable() / pagefault_enable() to replace atomic mapping.
