kmap() has been deprecated in favor of the kmap_local_page()
due to high cost, restricted mapping space, the overhead of
a global lock for synchronization, and making the process
sleep in the absence of free slots.
kmap_local_page() is faster than kmap() and offers thread-local
and CPU-local mappings, take pagefaults in a local kmap region
and preserves preemption by saving the mappings of outgoing
tasks and restoring those of the incoming one during a context
switch.
The mappings are kept thread local in the functions
“dmirror_do_read” and “dmirror_do_write” in test_hmm.c
Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() and use
mempcy_from/to_page() to avoid open coding kmap_local_page()
+ memcpy() + kunmap_local().
Remove the unused variable “tmp”.

LGTM, so...

Thanks,
Fabio
P.S.: The answer to an old question from you is that "LGTM" stands for "[It]
Looks Good To Me".
It's just a way to introduce the "Reviewed-by" tag itself. However, "LGTM" is
not required, whereas the tag is required for a valid review and only the tag
line will be added by maintainers in the log when your patch gets applied.
While here... Please don't put unnecessary blank lines between the tags.They
are not required and instead may worsen readability (obviously, I'm not
requiring a new version for this).

Hi Fabio,
Thank you for your explanation and clarification regarding the meaning of "LGTM."
I will take care of the blank lines.
