It's racy, creating mmap offsets is a slowpath, so better to remove it
to avoid drivers doing broken things.
The only user is i915, and it's ok there because everything (well
almost) is protected by dev->struct_mutex in i915-gem.
While at it add a note in the create_mmap_offset kerneldoc that
drivers must release it again. And then I also noticed that
drm_gem_object_release entirely lacks kerneldoc.

vgem doesn't have a shrinker or anything like that and drops backing
storage only at object_free time. There's no use in trying to be
clever and allocating backing storage delayed, it only causes trouble
by requiring locking.
Instead grab pages when we allocate the object right away.
drm/exynos: drop struct_mutex from exynos_drm_gem_get_ioctl
The only things this protects is reading ->flags and ->size, both of
which are invariant over the lifetime of an exynos gem bo. So no
locking needed at all (besides that, nothing protects the writers
anyway).
Aside: exynos_gem_obj->size is redundant with
exynos_gem_obj->base.size and probably should be removed.

drm/exynos: Drop dev->struct_mutex from mmap offset function
Simply forgotten about this when I was doing my general cleansing of
simple gem mmap offset functions. There's nothing but core functions
called here, and they all have their own protection already.
Aside: DRM_ERROR for userspace controlled input isn't great, but
that's for another patch.

For drm_gem_object_unreference callers are required to hold
dev->struct_mutex, which these paths don't. Enforcing this requirement
has become a bit more strict with
