    nvmm: Fix comm page unmapping issue by doing it on userland side
    
    Previously, we're mapping and unmapping the comm page for userland
    process both on the kernel side.  The unmapping was called at the point
    of closing the fd.
    
    However, the kernel may destroy process' vmspace before or after closing
    the fd, so there is no guarantee that kernel can get the correct address
    space to unmap the comm page for the userland process.  Therefore, do
    the comm page unmapping on the userland side in libnvmm to fix the above
    issue.
    
    In addition, add the 'comm_size' member to 'struct nvmm_capability' to
    expose the comm page size to userland, which is required for the
    unmapping operation.  This breaks ABI, so bump NVMM_KERN_VERSION.
    Update nvmmctl(8) accordingly to print the comm page size.
    
    This commit partially reverts:
    "nvmm: Add missing comm page unmapping"
