So the old implementation used set_pte() while the new one uses
set_pte_at().

The problem is the recursion
  kmap_atomic() -> __update_cache() -> kmap_atomic()

and kmap_local_idx_push() runs out if index space before stack space.

I'm not sure if the __update_cache() worked for highmem. It has been
added for that in commit
   f4281bba81810 ("MIPS: Handle highmem pages in __update_cache")

but it assumes that the address returned by kmap_atomic() is the same or
related enough for flush_data_cache_page() to work.
