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)
