dma-buf: Expose buffer size to userspace (v2)

Each dma-buf has an associated size and it's reasonable for userspace
to want to know what it is.

Since userspace already has an fd, expose the size using the
size = lseek(fd, SEEK_END, 0); lseek(fd, SEEK_CUR, 0);
idiom.

v2: Added Daniel's sugeested documentation, with minor fixups

upon this implicit synchronization).
Other Interfaces Exposed to Userspace on the dma-buf FD
------------------------------------------------------
- Since kernel 3.12 the dma-buf FD supports the llseek system call, but only
with offset=0 and whence=SEEK_END|SEEK_SET. SEEK_SET is supported to allow
the usual size discover pattern size = SEEK_END(0); SEEK_SET(0). Every other
llseek operation will report -EINVAL.
If llseek on dma-buf FDs isn't support the kernel will report -ESPIPE for all
cases. Userspace can use this to detect support for discovering the dma-buf
size using llseek.
Miscellaneous notes
