crypto: scatterwalk - use kmap_local() not kmap_atomic()
kmap_atomic() is used to create short-lived mappings of pages that may
not be accessible via the kernel direct map. This is only needed on
32-bit architectures that implement CONFIG_HIGHMEM, but it can be used
on 64-bit other architectures too, where the returned mapping is simply
the kernel direct address of the page.
However, kmap_atomic() does not support migration on CONFIG_HIGHMEM
configurations, due to the use of per-CPU kmap slots, and so it disables
preemption on all architectures, not just the 32-bit ones. This implies
that all scatterwalk based crypto routines essentially execute with
preemption disabled all the time, which is less than ideal.
So let's switch scatterwalk_map/_unmap and the shash/ahash routines to
kmap_local() instead, which serves a similar purpose, but without the
resulting impact on preemption on architectures that have no need for
CONFIG_HIGHMEM.
