Doing so will cause the grant to be unmapped and then, during
fault handling, the fault to be mistakenly treated as NUMA hint
fault.
In addition, even if we those maps could partcipate in NUMA
balancing it wouldn't provide any benefit since we wouldn't be
able to determine physical page's node (even if/when VNUMA is
implemented).
Marking grant maps' VMAs as VM_IO will exclude them from being
part of NUMA balancing.
