fix a kmap leak in virtio_console
While we are at it, don't do kmap() under kmap_atomic(), *especially* for a page we'd allocated with GFP_KERNEL. It's spelled "page_address", and had that been more than that, we'd have a real trouble - kmap_high() can block, and doing that while holding kmap_atomic() is a Bad Idea(tm).
