[PATCH] highmem: catch illegal nesting

Catch illegally nested kmap_atomic()s even if the page that is mapped by
the 'inner' instance is from lowmem.

This avoids spuriously zapped kmap-atomic ptes and turns hard to find
crashes into clear asserts at the bug site.

Problem is, a get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL) from interrupt context will trigger
this check if non-irq code on this CPU holds a KM_USER0 mapping.  But that
get_zeroed_page() will never be altering the kmap slot anyway due to the
GFP_KERNEL.
