The last time I tried to mmap dma-buf imported to Panfrost didn't work
because Panfrost didn't implement something needed for that. I'll need
to take a look again because can't recall what it was.

This will hang NVIDIA Tegra, which is what this patch fixed initially.
If neither of upstream DRM drivers need to map imported dma-bufs and
never needed, then why do we need this?
