Subject[PATCH v2] lib: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()
kmap() has been deprecated in favor of the kmap_local_page()
due to high cost, restricted mapping space, the overhead of
a global lock for synchronization, and making the process
sleep in the absence of free slots.

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 mappings are kept thread local in the functions
“dmirror_do_read” and “dmirror_do_write” in test_hmm.c

Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() and use
mempcy_from/to_page() to avoid open coding kmap_local_page()
+ memcpy() + kunmap_local().

Remove the unused variable “tmp”.
