[PATCH] fs: Call kmap_local_page() in copy_string_kernel()

["Fabio M. De Francesco" <fmdefrancesco@gmail.com>]

The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

With kmap_local_page(), the mappings are per thread, CPU local, not
globally visible and can take page faults. Furthermore, the mappings can be
acquired from any context (including interrupts).

Therefore, use kmap_local_page() in copy_string_kernel() instead of
kmap_atomic().

Tested with xfstests on a QEMU + KVM 32-bits VM booting a kernel with
HIGHMEM64GB enabled.

I sent a first patch to fs/exec.c for converting kmap() and kmap_atomic()
to kmap_local_page():
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220630163527.9776-1-fmdefrancesco@gmail.com/

Some days ago, Ira Weiny, while he was reviewing that patch, made me notice
that I had overlooked a second kmap_atomic() in the same file (thanks):
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YsiQptk19txHrG4c@iweiny-desk3/

I've been asked to send this as an additional change. This is why there will
not be any second version of that previous patch.
