Documentation/vm: move "Using kmap-atomic" to highmem.h

The use of kmap_atomic() is new code is being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page().  For this reason the "Using kmap_atomic" section in
highmem.rst is obsolete and unnecessary, but it can still help developers
if it were moved to kdocs in highmem.h.

Therefore, move the relevant parts of this section from highmem.rst and
merge them with the kdocs in highmem.h.

-Using kmap_atomic
-=================
-
-When and where to use kmap_atomic() is straightforward.  It is used when code
-wants to access the contents of a page that might be allocated from high memory
-(see __GFP_HIGHMEM), for example a page in the pagecache.  The API has two
-functions, and they can be used in a manner similar to the following::
-
-	/* Find the page of interest. */
-	struct page *page = find_get_page(mapping, offset);
-
-	/* Gain access to the contents of that page. */
-	void *vaddr = kmap_atomic(page);
-
-	/* Do something to the contents of that page. */
-	memset(vaddr, 0, PAGE_SIZE);
-
-	/* Unmap that page. */
-	kunmap_atomic(vaddr);
-
-Note that the kunmap_atomic() call takes the result of the kmap_atomic() call
-not the argument.
-
-If you need to map two pages because you want to copy from one page to
-another you need to keep the kmap_atomic calls strictly nested, like::
-
-	vaddr1 = kmap_atomic(page1);
-	vaddr2 = kmap_atomic(page2);
-
-	memcpy(vaddr1, vaddr2, PAGE_SIZE);
-
-	kunmap_atomic(vaddr2);
-	kunmap_atomic(vaddr1);
