Subject: [PATCH V3 0/3] Begin converting kmap calls to kmap_local_page()

Changes from V2[1]:
	Update this cover letter
	Update commit messages
	From Matthew Wilcox
		Put functions in highmem.h rather than pagemap.h
	Investigate 0-day build errors.
		AFAICT the patches were applied to the wrong tree and caused
		build errors.

There are many places in the kernel where kmap is used for a simple memory
operation like memcpy, memset, or memmove and then the page is unmapped.

This kmap/mem*/kunmap pattern is mixed between kmap and kmap_atomic uses.  All
of them could use kmap_atomic() which is faster.  However, kmap_atomic() is
being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

Use kmap_local_page() in the existing page operations.  Lift
memcpy_[to|from]_page to highmem.h.  Remove memzero_page() and use zero_user()
instead.  Add memcpy_page(), memmove_page(), and memset_page() to be used in
future patches.  Finally, add BUG_ON()s to check for any miss use of the API
and prevent data corruption in the same way zero_user() does.

This is V3 to get into 5.11 so that we can start to convert all the various
subsystems in 5.12.[2]

These are based on tip/core/mm.  I'm sending to Andrew and Thomas but I'm
expecting these to go through tip/core/mm via Thomas if that is ok with Andrew.
