Subject: [PATCH v2 8/9] drm/i915: Use kmap_local_page() in i915_cmd_parser.c

From: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@intel.com>

The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page()[1], and this patch converts the call from
kmap_atomic() to kmap_local_page().

The main difference between atomic and local mappings is that local
mappings doesn't disable page faults or preemption (the preemption is
disabled for !PREEMPT_RT case, otherwise it only disables migration).

With kmap_local_page(), we can avoid the often unwanted side effect of
unnecessary page faults and preemption disables.

There're 2 reasons why function copy_batch() doesn't need to disable
pagefaults and preemption for mapping:

1. The flush operation is safe. In i915_cmd_parser.c, copy_batch() calls
drm_clflush_virt_range() to use CLFLUSHOPT or WBINVD to flush.
Since CLFLUSHOPT is global on x86 and WBINVD is called on each cpu
in drm_clflush_virt_range(), the flush operation is global.

2. Any context switch caused by preemption or page faults (page fault
may cause sleep) doesn't affect the validity of local mapping.

Therefore, copy_batch() is a function where the use of
kmap_local_page() in place of kmap_atomic() is correctly suited.

Convert the calls of kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() to
kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local().

v2:
* Dropped hot plug related description since it has nothing to do with
  kmap_local_page().
* No code change since v1, and added description of the motivation of
  using kmap_local_page().
