As preventing getting the mmap fake offset should be sufficient, I'm
planning on doing this change:

I set pages_use_count to 1 when we allocate pages on the first fault.
Or do you mean we need to set it on creation in case
drm_gem_shmem_get_pages() is called before any GPU faults?

Either way, that just shifts how/where we crash I think. We need to
prevent drm_gem_shmem_get_pages() from being called. Besides mmap, the
other cases are vmap and exporting. I don't think we have any paths
that will cause vmap to get called in our case. For exporting, perhaps
we need a wrapper around drm_gem_shmem_pin() to prevent it.
