highmem: specify that kmap_local_page() is callable from interrupts
In a recent thread about converting kmap() to kmap_local_page(), the
safety of calling kmap_local_page() was questioned.[1]
"any context" should probably be enough detail for users who want to know
whether or not kmap_local_page() can be called from interrupts. However,
Linux still has kmap_atomic() which might make users think they must use
the latter in interrupts.
Add "including interrupts" for better clarity.
