The attachment is only mapped once, but there can be more than one
attachment, and the backend could return the same sg_table for each
mapping. Conceivably, it could return its own private sg_table where it
wants to maintain the struct page. Seems like just adding a sentence to
@map_dma_buf to clarify that each call should return a new sg_table will
suffice.
