kmap_local_page() is faster than kmap() and offers thread-local
and CPU-local mappings, take pagefaults in a local kmap region
and preserves preemption by saving the mappings of outgoing tasks
and restoring those of the incoming one during a context switch.
The mapping is kept thread local in the function
“i915_vma_coredump_create” in i915_gpu_error.c
Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page().

Changes in v2:
- Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page().
Generally it is customary to attribute a change like this to those who
suggested it in a V1 review.
For example:
- Tvrtko/Thomas: Use kmap_local_page() instead of page_address()
Also I don't see Thomas on the new email list. Since he took the time to
review V1 he might want to check this version out. I've added him to the
'To:' list.
Thanks.
Also a link to V1 is nice. B4 formats it like this:
- Link to v1:

All that said the code looks good to me. So with the above changes.

Thanks all! I'll just re-send the patch for our CI, since it didn't get
picked up automatically (stuck in moderation perhaps), with all r-b tags
added and extra line space removed and merge it if results will be green.
Regards,
Tvrtko
