[patch V3 28/37] mips/crashdump: Simplify copy_oldmem_page()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Nov 03 2020 - 05:35:33 EST


Replace kmap_atomic_pfn() with kmap_local_pfn() which is preemptible and
can take page faults.

Remove the indirection of the dump page and the related cruft which is not
longer required.
