drm/i915: Use kmap_local_page() in gem/i915_gem_shmem.c

The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page()[1].

The main difference between atomic and local mappings is that local
mappings doesn't disable page faults or preemption (the preemption is
disabled for !PREEMPT_RT case, otherwise it only disables migration).

With kmap_local_page(), we can avoid the often unwanted side effect of
unnecessary page faults or preemption disables.

In drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_shmem.c, the function shmem_pwrite() need to
disable pagefault to eliminate the potential recursion fault[2]. But
here __copy_from_user_inatomic() doesn't need to disable preemption and
local mapping is valid for sched in/out.

So it can use kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() with
pagefault_disable() / pagefault_enable() to replace atomic mapping.
