dmabuf_map shares the same union slot as ubuf, so this reads the map
pointer as a user address. gap_alignment() below already returns 0
correctly for dmabuf - this should too. Checked the rest of this patch
(advance/revert/restore) - none of them dereference the union pointer
for dmabuf, so it's isolated to this one spot. Doesn't affect the
current series, nothing reaches this with a dmabuf iter yet.

Ah yes, that's nonsense, it should've checked iov_offset instead. Thanks
