Sagar Kamble 8156a23a6e gpu: nvgpu: support userspace Read Only mappings ...

Until now, all userspace buffers were mapped in the GMMU as Read & Write
(RW) by default. In order to enable the use cases which require the GPU
to only read the SYSMEM buffers and not inadvertently write to those,
map buffer ioctls need to provide interface to set the mapping access
type from the userspace.

Some of the use cases are:
  1. A third party server process exposes shared memory that is
     read-only to the client process, which does the GPU processing.
     Registering this memory using cudaHostRegister API as read-only
     in the client process will restict the access to Read Only type
     from the GPU.
  2. IO devices exposing streaming read-only data for processing by
     the GPU.
  3. For marking semantically read-only data as actually read-only
     for the purposes of debugging data corruption.

This patch introduces new AS buffer mapping bitmask flag and
corresponding core VM mapping bitmask flag for representing
Read Only (RO) access type. By default, the access is set
as Read Write (RW).
