As others pointed out, DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING just means the
caller can't rely on a kernel mapping. So the "fix" here is
wrong. That being said for cases where we can easily remove a page
from the kernel mapping it would be nice to do to:
a) improve security
b) as a debug check to see that no one actually tries to access it

Please avoid overly long lines. Also this function only exists for arm64
also and others pointed out won't work for all cases.
