dma-buf: Remove range-based flush
This patch removes range-based information used for optimizations in
begin_cpu_access and end_cpu_access.
We don't have any user nor implementation using range-based flush. It seems a
consensus that if we ever want something like that again (or even more robust
using 2D, 3D sub-range regions) we can use the upcoming dma-buf sync ioctl for
such.

This allows the exporter to ensure that the memory is actually available for
cpu access - the exporter might need to allocate or swap-in and pin the
backing storage. The exporter also needs to ensure that cpu access is
- coherent for the given range and access direction. The range and access
- direction can be used by the exporter to optimize the cache flushing, i.e.
- access outside of the range or with a different direction (read instead of
- write) might return stale or even bogus data (e.g. when the exporter needs to
