[PATCH 2/2] drm/vgem: use normal cached mmap'ings

From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

Since there is no real device associated with vgem, it is impossible to
end up with appropriate dev->dma_ops, meaning that we have no way to
invalidate the shmem pages allocated by vgem.  So, at least on platforms
without drm_cflush_pages(), we end up with corruption when cache lines
from previous usage of vgem bo pages get evicted to memory.

The only sane option is to use cached mappings.

Possibly we could dma_sync_*_for_{device,cpu}() on dmabuf attach/detach,
although the ->gem_prime_{pin,unpin}() API isn't quite ideal for that as
it is.  And that doesn't really help for drivers that don't attach/
detach for each use.

But AFAICT vgem is mainly used for dmabuf testing, so maybe we don't
need to care too much about use of cached mmap'ings.
