Subject: [PATCH] dma-buf/udmabuf: skip redundant cpu sync to fix cacheline
 EEXIST warning

When CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG_SG is enabled, importing a udmabuf into a DRM
driver (e.g. amdgpu for video playback in GNOME Videos / Showtime)
triggers a spurious warning:

  DMA-API: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: cacheline tracking EEXIST, \
      overlapping mappings aren't supported
  WARNING: kernel/dma/debug.c:619 at add_dma_entry+0x473/0x5f0

The call chain is:

  amdgpu_cs_ioctl
   -> amdgpu_ttm_backend_bind
    -> dma_buf_map_attachment
     -> [udmabuf] map_udmabuf -> get_sg_table
      -> dma_map_sgtable(dev, sg, direction, 0)  // attrs=0
       -> debug_dma_map_sg -> add_dma_entry -> EEXIST

This happens because udmabuf builds a per-page scatter-gather list via
sg_set_folio().  When begin_cpu_udmabuf() has already created an sg
table mapped for the misc device, and an importer such as amdgpu maps
the same pages for its own device via map_udmabuf(), the DMA debug
infrastructure sees two active mappings whose physical addresses share
cacheline boundaries and warns about the overlap.

The DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC flag suppresses this check in
add_dma_entry() because it signals that no CPU cache maintenance is
performed at map/unmap time, making the cacheline overlap harmless.

All other major dma-buf exporters already pass this flag:
  - drm_gem_map_dma_buf() passes DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC
  - amdgpu_dma_buf_map() passes DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC

The CPU sync at map/unmap time is also redundant for udmabuf:
begin_cpu_udmabuf() and end_cpu_udmabuf() already perform explicit
cache synchronization via dma_sync_sgtable_for_cpu/device() when CPU
access is requested through the dma-buf interface.

Pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC to dma_map_sgtable() and
dma_unmap_sgtable() in udmabuf to suppress the spurious warning and
skip the redundant sync.
