Patch series "Remove unmap_and_put_page()".

This patchset uses folios in both the callers of unmap_and_put_page(),
saving a couple calls to compound_head() wrappers.


This patch (of 3):

Use kmap_local_folio() instead of kmap_local_page().  Replaces 2 calls to
compound_head() from unmap_and_put_page() with one.

This prepares us for the removal of unmap_and_put_page().
