md: Replace deprecated kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()
kmap_atomic() is deprecated and should be replaced with kmap_local_page()
[1][2]. kmap_local_page() is faster in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled, can
take page faults, and allows preemption.
According to [2], this is safe as long as the code between kmap_atomic()
and kunmap_atomic() does not implicitly depend on disabling page faults or
preemption. It appears to me that none of the call sites in this patch
depend on disabling page faults or preemption; they are all mapping a page
to simply extract some information from it or print some debug info.
