x86/sgx: Replace kmap/kunmap_atomic() calls
kmap_local_page() is the preferred way to create temporary mappings when it is feasible, because the mappings are thread-local and CPU-local. kmap_local_page() uses per-task maps rather than per-CPU maps. This in effect removes the need to disable preemption on the local CPU while the mapping is active, and thus vastly reduces overall system latency. It is also valid to take pagefaults within the mapped region. The use of kmap_atomic() in the SGX code was not an explicit design choice to disable page faults or preemption, and there is no compelling design reason to using kmap_atomic() vs. kmap_local_page().
