drm/i915: Use kmap_local_page() in gem/selftests/huge_pages.c
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 or preemption disables.
In drm/i915/gem/selftests/huge_pages.c, function __cpu_check_shmem()
mainly uses mapping to flush cache and check the value. There're
2 reasons why __cpu_check_shmem() doesn't need to disable pagefaults
and preemption for mapping:
1. The flush operation is safe. Function __cpu_check_shmem() 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, __cpu_check_shmem() 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().
