This function can use some comments. What is happening AFAICS is that
buf->vaddr is either set in vb2_dc_alloc_coherent (unless
DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING was set), it is obtained through dma_buf_vmap()
if the buffer was attached to a dma_buf, or it is allocated via
dma_vmap_noncontiguous() for non-coherent memory.

Yeah, it's complicated. Maybe we can make things more symmetrical.

But this leaves coherent memory with DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING set, what
is vaddr in that case? I think it will call dma_vmap_noncontiguous()
incorrectly in that case, shouldn't there be a check for !buf->coherent_mem
before the call to dma_vmap_noncontiguous()?

Thanks a lot for looking into it.

Can we just kill off DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING in v4l now?  There really is
no good reason to use that with dma_alloc_noncoherent/noncontiguous
available, and I plan to eventually remove that interface entirely.
