media: staging: media: atomisp: Use kmap_local_page() in hmm_store()

The use of kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page()
where it is feasible. The same is true for kmap_atomic().

In file pci/hmm/hmm.c, function hmm_store() test if we are in atomic
context and, if so, it calls kmap_atomic(), if not, it calls kmap().

First of all, in_atomic() shouldn't be used in drivers. This macro
cannot always detect atomic context; in particular, it cannot know
about held spinlocks in non-preemptible kernels.

Notwithstanding what it is said above, this code doesn't need to care
whether or not it is executing in atomic context. It can simply use
kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() that can instead do the mapping /
unmapping regardless of the context.

With kmap_local_page(), the mapping is per thread, CPU local and not
globally visible. Therefore, hmm_store()() is a function where the use
of kmap_local_page() in place of both kmap() and kmap_atomic() is
correctly suited.

Convert the calls of kmap() / kunmap() and kmap_atomic() /
kunmap_atomic() to kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() and drop the
unnecessary tests which test if the code is in atomic context.
