I now believe there are two way to resolve the HVO folio can't vmap in udmabuf.

1. simple copy vmap_pfn code, don't bother common vmap_pfn, use by itself and remove pfn_valid check.

2. implement folio array based vmap(vmap_folios), which can given a range of each folio(offset, nr_pages), so can suit HVO folio's vmap.

1 is simple and can fast fix this issue, but may not too good. I need discuss with bot Christoph and udmabuf's maintainer.

2 is hard, but may worth to research, which I also will try to do. :)
