esp(6)_output_head uses skb_page_frag_refill to allocate a buffer for
the esp trailer.

It accesses the page with kmap_atomic to handle highmem. But
skb_page_frag_refill can return compound pages, of which
kmap_atomic only maps the first underlying page.

skb_page_frag_refill does not return highmem, because flag
__GFP_HIGHMEM is not set. ESP uses it in the same manner as TCP.
That also does not call kmap_atomic, but directly uses page_address,
in skb_copy_to_page_nocache. Do the same for ESP.

This issue has become easier to trigger with recent kmap local
debugging feature CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL_FORCE_MAP.
