[PATCH v1] dmaengine: idxd: Fix allowing write() from different address spaces

[Vinicius Costa Gomes]

Check if the process submitting the descriptor belongs to the same
address space as the one that opened the file, reject otherwise.

I assume this can happen after a fork.

Do idxd_cdev_mmap() and idxd_cdev_poll() need similar protection?
