exec: Replace kmap{,_atomic}() with kmap_local_page()

Browse Source 
The use of kmap() and kmap_atomic() are being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page().

There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap’s pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore,
the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the
kernel virtual addresses are restored and are still valid.

Since the use of kmap_local_page() in exec.c is safe, it should be
preferred everywhere in exec.c.

As said, since kmap_local_page() can be also called from atomic context,
and since remove_arg_zero() doesn't (and shouldn't ever) rely on an
implicit preempt_disable(), this function can also safely replace
kmap_atomic().

Therefore, replace kmap() and kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in
fs/exec.c.

Tested with xfstests on a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel
with HIGHMEM64GB enabled.
