Patch "495c10cc1c0c CHROMIUM: dma-buf: restore args..."
adds a workaround for a bug in mmap_region.

As the comment states ->mmap() callback can change
vma->vm_file and so we might call fput() on the wrong file.

Revert the workaround and proper fix this in mmap_region.

Seems correct, best I can tell.  Presumably all ->mmap() instances will
correctly fput() to original file* if they're rewriting vma->vm_file.

Yes, exactly.

Patch #2 provides a helper to make sure that everybody gets the get_file()/fput() correctly while updating vma->vm_file.

Can I add your acked-by to the patches and push them upstream through drm-misc-next?

Thanks,
Christian.
