[PATCH v2 1/4] udmabuf: cancel mmap page fault, direct map it

I think it makes sense to populate the vma when the first fault is triggered
instead of doing it during mmap. This is because the userspace may call
mmap but does not actually use the data. Qemu works this way depending on
whether opengl is available in the environment or not.

Please don't use struct page pointers, given the recent conversion to use
only folios in udmabuf driver. I think what you are trying to do above can
be done using only folios.

Could you please retain the use of vmf_insert_pfn() here, given the simplicity,
among other reasons?

Thanks,
