[PATCH] fs: Replace kmap{,_atomic}() with kmap_local_page()

The use of kmap() and kmap_atomic() are being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page().

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

Therefore, use kmap_local_page() in exec.c because these mappings are per
thread, CPU local, and not globally visible.

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