vmap() is less of a problem, because we're not supposed to call
drm_gem_shmem_vmap() directly, but rather go through drm_gem_vmap().
This should probably be clarified in the doc though, with this sort of
disclaimer: "don't use this function to map stuff, only use it to
implement drm_gem_object_funcs::vmap()."
Also noticed that the drm_gem API has the _locked pattern reversed,
with a few drm_gem_xxx_unlocked() helper that take the lock and call
the drm_gem_xxx() function. Don't have a strong opinion on whether this
is better than the xxx_locked() and xxx() pattern or not, but the fact
things are inconsistent across the API (drm_gem_pin() is letting the
backend take the lock before pinning pages, when drm_gem_vmap() is
not) is super confusing.
