[PATCH] drm/repaper: Do not access GEM-DMA vaddr directly

Use DRM's shadow-plane helper to map and access the GEM object's buffer
within kernel address space. Encasulates the vmap logic in the GEM-DMA
helpers.

The repaper driver currently reads the vaddr field from the GME buffer
object directly. This only works because GEM code 'automagically' sets
vaddr.

Shadow-plane helpers perform the same steps, but with correct abstraction
behind drm_gem_vmap(). The shadow-plane state provides the buffer address
in kernel address space and the format-conversion state.
