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 doesn't disable page faults or preemption.

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

1. The flush operation is safe for CPU hotplug when preemption is not
disabled. In i915_cmd_parser.c, the function 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 and any
issue with cpu's being added or removed can be handled safely.

2. Any context switch caused by preemption or sleep (pagefault 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().
