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 kexec_core.c because these mappings are
per thread, CPU local, and not globally visible.
Tested on a QEMU + KVM 32-bits VM booting a kernel with HIGHMEM64GB
enabled.

v1->v2: A sentence of the commit message contained an error due to a
mistake in copy-pasting from a previous patch. Replace "aio.c" with
"kexec_core.c".
