This code was added in b65e64f7ccd4 ("drm/cma: Use
dma_mmap_writecombine() to mmap buffer"), but does not explain why
it's needed.
It should be entirely unnecessary, because remap_pfn_range(), which is
what the various dma_mmap functiosn are built on top of, does already
unconditionally adjust the vma flags:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.1-rc6/source/mm/memory.c#L2518
More importantly, it does uncondtionally set VM_PFNMAP, so clearing
that does not make much sense.
Patch motived by discussions around enforcing VM_PFNMAP semantics for
all dma-buf users, where Thomas asked why dma helpers will work with
that dma_buf_mmap() contract.
