Extend and rework the "Temporary Virtual Mappings" section of the highmem.rst documentation. Despite the local kmaps were introduced by Thomas Gleixner in October 2020, documentation was still missing information about them. These additions rely largely on Gleixner's patches, Jonathan Corbet's LWN articles, comments by Ira Weiny and Matthew Wilcox, and in-code comments from ./include/linux/highmem.h. 1) Add a paragraph to document kmap_local_page(). 2) Reorder the list of functions by decreasing order of preference of use. 3) Rework part of the kmap() entry in list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
