[RESEND PATCH v4 1/2] highmem: Make __kunmap_{local,atomic}() take "const void *"

__kunmap_ {local,atomic}() currently take pointers to void. However, this
is semantically incorrect, since these functions do not change the memory
their arguments point to.

Therefore, make this semantics explicit by modifying the prototypes of
__kunmap_{local,atomic}() to take pointers to const void.

As a side effect, compilers will likely produce more efficient code.

v3->v4: Cc Maintainers and mailing lists I had overlooked when I sent v3.

v2->v3: Fix compilation errors for ARCH=parisc.
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>

v1->v2: Change the commit message to clearly explain why these functions
should require pointers to const void. The fundamental argument
behind the commit message changes is semantic correctness.
Obviously, there are no changes to the code.
Many thanks to David Sterba and Ira Weiny for suggestions and
reviews.
