110bf7a523 Documentation/vm: rework "Temporary Virtual Mappings" section
Extend and rework the "Temporary Virtual Mappings" section of the
highmem.rst documentation.

Despite the local kmaps were introduced by Thomas Gleixner in October
2020, documentation was still missing information about them.  These
additions rely largely on Gleixner's patches, Jonathan Corbet's LWN
articles, comments by Ira Weiny and Matthew Wilcox, and in-code comments
from ./include/linux/highmem.h.

1) Add a paragraph to document kmap_local_page().
2) Reorder the list of functions by decreasing order of preference
   of use.
3) Rework part of the kmap() entry in list.

85a85e7601 Documentation/vm: move "Using kmap-atomic" to highmem.h
The use of kmap_atomic() is new code is being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page().  For this reason the "Using kmap_atomic" section in
highmem.rst is obsolete and unnecessary, but it can still help developers
if it were moved to kdocs in highmem.h.

Therefore, move the relevant parts of this section from highmem.rst and
merge them with the kdocs in highmem.h.
