The source of this warning is in iosys_map_clear() called from
dma_buf_vmap(). It conditionally sets values based on map->is_iomem. The
iosys_map variables are allocated uninitialized on the stack leading to
->is_iomem having all kinds of values and not only 0/1.
Fix this by zeroing the iosys_map variables.
