The drm-shmem helper should be the only that maps imported GEMs
properly, but drivers that use drm-shmem already prohibit to map

This should've been broken forever, don't think that we have a fixes tag
here. I looked thought all my previous patches and added the Fixes
wherever was possible. If I really missed something, then please let me
