Then, please remove the local variable 'dst' (struct iosys_map) at here.
As you said, the returned iosys_map is another copy of the original backup,
we can play with this local variable at will, there no need to duplicate
another time again.

I have modified and tested with fbdev generic, no problem. With this trivial
issue resolved. For fbdev-generic:
