Subject: fs/isofs: replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()
Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2022 14:27:09 +0200

The use of kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap's pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). 
Tasks can be preempted and, when scheduled to run again, the kernel
virtual addresses are restored and still valid.  It is faster than kmap()
in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled.

Since kmap_local_page() can be safely used in compress.c, it should be
called everywhere instead of kmap().

Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in compress.c.  Where it
is needed, use memzero_page() instead of open coding kmap_local_page()
plus memset() to fill the pages with zeros.  Delete the redundant
flush_dcache_page() in the two call sites of memzero_page().

Tested with mkisofs on a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel
with HIGHMEM64GB enabled.
