Imo we either don't bother with per-file dummy page, or we need this.
Half-way doesn't make much sense, since for anything you dma-buf
exported you have no idea whether it left a sandbox or not.

E.g. anything that's shared between client/compositor has a different
security context, so picking the dummy page of either is the wrong
thing.

If you're worried about the overhead we can also allocate the dummy
page on demand, and SIGBUS if we can't allocate the right one. Then we
just need to track whether a buffer has ever been exported.
