The one in-tree videobuf2-dma-sg driver (mmp-camera) has no need for a
kernel-space mapping of the buffers; one suspects that most other drivers
would not either. The videobuf2-dma-sg module does the right thing if
buf->vaddr == NULL - it maps the buffer on demand if somebody needs it. So
let's not map the buffer at allocation time; that will save a little CPU
time and a lot of address space in the vmalloc range.
