drm/xen-front: Fix mmap attributes for display buffers

Oleksandr Andrushchenko · Oleksandr Andrushchenko · commit 24ded292a5c2 · 2019-02-04T08:39:31.000+02:00
When GEM backing storage is allocated those are normal pages, so there is no point using pgprot_writecombine while mmaping. This fixes mismatch of buffer pages' memory attributes between the frontend and backend which may cause screen artifacts.
