dma-buf: Update cpu access documentation

- Again move the information relevant for driver writers next to the
  callbacks.
- Put the overview and userspace interface documentation into a DOC:
  section within the code.
- Remove the text that mmap needs to be coherent - since the
  DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC landed that's no longer the case. But keep the text
  that for pte zapping exporters need to adjust the address space.
- Add a FIXME that kmap and the new begin/end stuff used by the SYNC
  ioctl don't really mix correctly. That's something I just realized
  while doing this doc rework.
- Augment function and structure docs like usual.

/**
* @begin_cpu_access:
*
* This is called from dma_buf_begin_cpu_access() and allows the
* exporter to ensure that the memory is actually available for cpu
* access - the exporter might need to allocate or swap-in and pin the
* backing storage. The exporter also needs to ensure that cpu access is
* coherent for the access direction. The direction can be used by the
* exporter to optimize the cache flushing, i.e. access with a different
* direction (read instead of write) might return stale or even bogus
* data (e.g. when the exporter needs to copy the data to temporary
* storage).
*
* This callback is optional.
*
* FIXME: This is both called through the DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC command
* from userspace (where storage shouldn't be pinned to avoid handing
* de-factor mlock rights to userspace) and for the kernel-internal
* users of the various kmap interfaces, where the backing storage must
* be pinned to guarantee that the atomic kmap calls can succeed. Since
* there's no in-kernel users of the kmap interfaces yet this isn't a
* real problem.
*
* Returns:
*
* 0 on success or a negative error code on failure. This can for
* example fail when the backing storage can't be allocated. Can also
* return -ERESTARTSYS or -EINTR when the call has been interrupted and
* needs to be restarted.

* @mmap:
*
* This callback is used by the dma_buf_mmap() function
*
* Note that the mapping needs to be incoherent, userspace is expected
* to braket CPU access using the DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC interface.
*
* Because dma-buf buffers have invariant size over their lifetime, the
* dma-buf core checks whether a vma is too large and rejects such
* mappings. The exporter hence does not need to duplicate this check.
* Drivers do not need to check this themselves.
*
* If an exporter needs to manually flush caches and hence needs to fake
* coherency for mmap support, it needs to be able to zap all the ptes
* pointing at the backing storage. Now linux mm needs a struct
* address_space associated with the struct file stored in vma->vm_file
* to do that with the function unmap_mapping_range. But the dma_buf
* framework only backs every dma_buf fd with the anon_file struct file,
* i.e. all dma_bufs share the same file.
*
* Hence exporters need to setup their own file (and address_space)
* association by setting vma->vm_file and adjusting vma->vm_pgoff in
* the dma_buf mmap callback. In the specific case of a gem driver the
* exporter could use the shmem file already provided by gem (and set
* vm_pgoff = 0). Exporters can then zap ptes by unmapping the
* corresponding range of the struct address_space associated with their
* own file.
