drm/amdgpu: Pin buffers while vmap'ing exported dma-buf objects

Current dma-buf vmap semantics require that the mapped buffer remains
in place until the corresponding vunmap has completed.

For GEM-SHMEM, this used to be guaranteed by a pin operation while creating
an S/G table in import. GEM-SHMEN can now import dma-buf objects without
creating the S/G table, so the pin is missing. Leads to page-fault errors,
such as the one shown below.

In this stack strace, udl (based on GEM-SHMEM) imported and vmap'ed a
dma-buf from amdgpu. Amdgpu relocated the buffer, thereby invalidating the
mapping.

Provide a custom dma-buf vmap method in amdgpu that pins the object before
mapping it's buffer's pages into kernel address space. Do the opposite in
vunmap.

Note that dma-buf vmap differs from GEM vmap in how it handles relocation.
While dma-buf vmap keeps the buffer in place, GEM vmap requires the caller
to keep the buffer in place. Hence, this fix is in amdgpu's dma-buf code
instead of its GEM code.

A discussion of various approaches to solving the problem is available
at [1].

v3:
- try (GTT | VRAM); drop CPU domain (Christian)
v2:
- only use mapable domains (Christian)
- try pinning to domains in preferred order
