I'm way late and burried again, but I think it'd be good to be consistent
here across drivers. Or at least across drm drivers. And we've had the vma
open/close refcounting to make fork work since forever.

I think if we do this we should really only do this for mmap() where this
applies, but reading through the thread here I'm honestly confused why
this is a problem. If CRIU can't handle forked mmaps it needs to be
thought that, not hacked around. Or at least I'm not understanding why
this shouldn't work ...
