Each kmap_atomic slot is basically a per-cpu global variable.  If a CPU is
inside process-level kmap_atomic(KM_USER0) and then runs that softirq,
it'll return from the softirq with its kmap slot pointing at the wrong
page.

KM_IRQ0 can only be used with local interrupts disabled, for the same
reason.
