ntfs: fix kmap_local_page() usage in compress
Several compressed I/O paths discard the address returned by
kmap_local_page() and later access or unmap the page using page_address().
This is invalid for highmem pages, and local mappings must also be unmapped
using the address returned by kmap_local_page().
Map each destination page in ntfs_decompress() only while producing the
current sub-block. Use memcpy_from_page(), memcpy_to_page(), and
memzero_page() for the other page accesses. Remove unnecessary local
mappings from ntfs_write_cb(), where pages are accessed through the vmap()
mapping.
