btrfs: reduce kmap_atomic time for checksumming

Browse source 
Since commit c40a3d38af ("Btrfs: Compute and look up csums based on
sectorsized blocks") we do a kmap_atomic() on the contents of a bvec.
The code before c40a3d38af had the kmap region just around the
checksumming too.

kmap_atomic() in turn does a preempt_disable() and pagefault_disable(),
so we shouldn't map the data for too long. Reduce the time the bvec's
page is mapped to when we actually need it.

Performance wise it doesn't seem to make a huge difference with a 2 vcpu VM
on a /dev/zram device:

       vanilla      patched      delta
write  17.4MiB/s    17.8MiB/s	+0.4MiB/s (+2%)
read   40.6MiB/s    41.5MiB/s   +0.9MiB/s (+2%)

The following fio job profile was used in the comparision:

[global]
ioengine=libaio
direct=1
sync=1
norandommap
time_based
runtime=10m
size=100m
group_reporting
numjobs=2

[test]
filename=/mnt/test/fio
rw=randrw
rwmixread=70
