It was suggested by Fabio that kunmap() be marked deprecated in
checkpatch.[1]  This did not seem necessary until an invalid conversion
of kmap_local_page() appeared in mainline.[2][3]  The introduction of
this bug would have been flagged with kunmap() being marked deprecated.

Add kunmap() and kunmap_atomic() to checkpatch to help prevent further
confusion.
