The driver should be in control of this.

It is possible that this was masking bugs (ie. not setting appropriate
pgprot) in drivers.  I don't have a particularly good idea for tracking
those down (since I don't have the hw for most drivers).  Unless someone
has a better idea, maybe land this and let driver maintainers fix any
potential fallout in their drivers?

This is necessary for the last patch to fix VGEM brokenness on arm.

v3: rebased on drm-tip
