exec: Call kmap_local_page() in copy_string_kernel()

The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

With kmap_local_page(), the mappings are per thread, CPU local and not
globally visible. Furthermore, the mappings can be acquired from any
context (including interrupts).

Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in
copy_string_kernel(). Instead of open-coding local mapping + memcpy(),
use memcpy_to_page(). Delete a redundant call to flush_dcache_page().

Tested with xfstests on a QEMU/ KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel
with HIGHMEM64GB enabled.
