This helper doesn't buy us much over calling kmap_atomic directly.
In fact in the only caller it does a bit of useless work as the
caller already has the bvec at hand, and said caller would even
buggy for a multi-segment bio due to the use of this helper.
So just remove it.

iii. The i/o scheduler algorithm itself can be replaced/set as appropriate
PIO drivers (or drivers that need to revert to PIO transfer once in a
while (IDE for example)), where the CPU is doing the actual data
transfer a virtual mapping is needed. If the driver supports highmem I/O,
-(Sec 1.1, (ii) ) it needs to use __bio_kmap_atomic or similar to
-temporarily map a bio into the virtual address space.
