Users of kmap_local_page() must be absolutely sure to not hand kernel
virtual address obtained calling kmap_local_page() on highmem pages to
other contexts because those pointers are thread local, therefore, they
are no longer valid across different contexts.
Extend the documentation of kmap_local_page() to warn users about the
above-mentioned potential invalid use of pointers returned by
kmap_local_page().
