The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page()[1],  and this patch converts the call from
kmap_atomic() + memcpy() to memcpy_[from/to]_page(), which use
kmap_local_page() to build local mapping and then do memcpy().

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 and preemption disables.

In drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_phys.c, the functions
i915_gem_object_get_pages_phys() and i915_gem_object_put_pages_phys()
don't need to disable pagefaults and preemption for mapping because of
2 reasons:

1. The flush operation is safe. In drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_object.c,
i915_gem_object_get_pages_phys() and i915_gem_object_put_pages_phys()
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, i915_gem_object_get_pages_phys() and
i915_gem_object_put_pages_phys() are two functions where the uses of
local mappings in place of atomic mappings are correctly suited.

Convert the calls of kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() + memcpy() to
memcpy_from_page() and memcpy_to_page().
