Currently, mmap offset of exynos-drm gem is made by                 
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_MAP_DUMB ioctl and mmap() ioctl just uses the mmap     
offset. User will use same mmap offset about same gem. It's why mmap
offset made by DRM_IOCTL_MODE_MAP_DUMB ioctl is unnecessary, it's just
enough to make mmap offset from when gem is create. You can get a
reference from drm_gem_cma_helper.c file.
