dma-buf: update exp_name when using dma_buf_export()

Browse source 
commit c0b00a5 ("dma-buf: update debugfs output") modified the
default exporter name to be the KBUILD_MODNAME pre-processor
macro instead of __FILE__ but the documentation was not updated.

Also the "Supporting existing mmap interfaces in exporters" section
title seems wrong since talks about the interface used by importers.

Exporting modules which do not wish to provide any specific name may use the

without the last argument; a __FILE__ pre-processor directive will be

No special interfaces, userspace simply calls mmap on the dma-buf fd.

Similar to the motivation for kernel cpu access it is again important that
the userspace code of a given importing subsystem can use the same interfaces
