binder: Use memcpy_{to,from}_page() in binder_alloc_do_buffer_copy()
The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page()
where it is feasible. Each call of kmap_atomic() in the kernel creates
a non-preemptible section and disable pagefaults. This could be a source
of unwanted latency, so kmap_local_page() should be preferred.
With kmap_local_page(), the mapping is per thread, CPU local and not
globally visible. Furthermore, the mapping can be acquired from any context
(including interrupts). binder_alloc_do_buffer_copy() is a function where
the use of kmap_local_page() in place of kmap_atomic() is correctly suited.
Use kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() in place of kmap_atomic() /
kunmap_atomic() but, instead of open coding the mappings and call memcpy()
to and from the virtual addresses of the mapped pages, prefer the use of
the memcpy_{to,from}_page() wrappers (as suggested by Christophe
Jaillet).
