KVM: SVM: Replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()
The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page()[1]. The main difference between atomic and local mappings is that local mappings don't disable page faults or preemption. There're 2 reasons we can use kmap_local_page() here: 1. SEV is 64-bit only and kmap_local_page() doesn't disable migration in this case, but here the function clflush_cache_range() uses CLFLUSHOPT instruction to flush, and on x86 CLFLUSHOPT is not CPU-local and flushes the page out of the entire cache hierarchy on all CPUs (APM volume 3, chapter 3, CLFLUSHOPT). So there's no need to disable preemption to ensure CPU-local. 2. clflush_cache_range() doesn't need to disable pagefault and the mapping is still valid even if sleeps. This is also true for sched out/in when preempted. In addition, though kmap_local_page() is a thin wrapper around page_address() on 64-bit, kmap_local_page() should still be used here in preference to page_address() since page_address() isn't suitable to be used in a generic function (like sev_clflush_pages()) where the page passed in is not easy to determine the source of allocation. Keeping the kmap* API in place means it can be used for things other than highmem mappings[2]. Therefore, sev_clflush_pages() is a function that should use kmap_local_page() in place of kmap_atomic(). Convert the calls of kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() to kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local().
