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.
