media: dvb-core: get rid of mmap reserved field
The "reserved" field was a way, used at V4L2 API, to add new data to existing structs without breaking userspace. However, there are now clever ways of doing that, without needing to add an uneeded overhead. So, get rid of them. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

It can be used to export a buffer as a DMABUF file at any time after
buffers have been allocated with the :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` ioctl.
-The ``reserved`` array must be zeroed before calling it.

To export a buffer, applications fill struct :c:type:`dmx_exportbuffer`.
Applications must set the ``index`` field. Valid index numbers
range from zero to the number of buffers allocated with :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS`
