firmware_loader: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() 

The use of kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

Two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as mapping
space is restricted and protected by a global lock for synchronization and
(2) kmap() also requires global TLB invalidation when the kmap’s pool
wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized until a
slot becomes available.

kmap_local_page() is preferred over kmap() and kmap_atomic(). Where it
cannot mechanically replace the latters, code refactor should be considered
(special care must be taken if kernel virtual addresses are aliases in
different contexts).

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).

Call kmap_local_page() in firmware_loader wherever kmap() is currently
used. In firmware_rw() use the helpers copy_{from,to}_page() instead of
open coding the local mappings + memcpy().

Successfully tested with "firmware" selftests on a QEMU/KVM 32-bits VM
with 4GB RAM, booting a kernel with HIGHMEM64GB enabled.
