Excellent catch!

Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter at ffwll.ch>

I reviewed the other helpers, and ttm/vram helpers already block this with
the check in ttm_bo_mmap_obj.

But the dma helpers does not, because the remap_pfn_range that underlies
the various dma_mmap* function (at least on most platforms) allows some
limited use of cow. But it makes no sense at all to all that only for
gpu buffer objects backed by specific allocators.

Would you be up for the 2nd patch that also adds this check to
drm_gem_dma_mmap, so that we have a consistent uapi?

I'll go ahead and apply this one to drm-misc-fixes meanwhile.

Thanks, Sima
