fbdev: Put mmap for deferred I/O into drivers
The fbdev mmap function fb_mmap() unconditionally overrides the driver's implementation if deferred I/O has been activated. This makes it hard to implement mmap with anything but a vmalloc()'ed software buffer. That is specifically a problem for DRM, where video memory is maintained by a memory manager. Leave the mmap handling to drivers and expect them to call the helper for deferred I/O by thmeselves. v4: * unlock mm_lock in fb_mmap() error path (Dan) v3: * fix warning if fb_mmap is missing (kernel test robot) v2: * print a helpful error message if the defio setup is incorrect (Javier) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220429100834.18898-2-tzimmermann@suse.de
