It's certainly ugly, but I don't think we have a real problem here. vma
grabs a reference to the open file at mmap time and we grab a reference to
the underlying gem object. So it shouldn't be possible to observe a
non-NULL dev_mapping while the inode refcount has already reached 0
anywhere we actually care. At least in drm/i915 since we never call
unmap_mapping_range if we know that there's no ptes around pointing at
this specific object (which we accurately keep track of in our fault
handler).

TTM might be different, and it's certainly good to rid us of this code.

Tbh I have no idea what the rules are here ... But since core vfs code
uses the filp->f_mapping at mmap time not frobbing inode->i_mapping looks
like the sane to do.

i915 in gem+ums mode might. i810 is a different level of horror show
entirely, but since it doesn't do gem we can ignore it here.

I guess it makes sense to merge that after your drm vma offset manager
changes with the little pte shootdown helper since that'll reduce the
diff?
