No, the unmapping is not needed here. See the function amdgpu_bo_kmap(), 
it either creates the mapping or return the cached pointer.

A call to amdgpu_bo_kunmap() is only done in a few places where we know 
that the created mapping most likely won't be needed any more. If that's 
not done the mapping is automatically destroyed when the BO is moved or 
freed up.

I mean good bug fix, but you seem to see this as some kind of 
prerequisite to some follow up work converting TTM to use kmap_local() 
which most likely won't work in the first place.

Christian.
