media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API, created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide"). As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate place. Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether will likely make things easier for developers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

+
+.. warning:: This API is still experimental.

+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <unistd.h>
+ #include <sys/mman.h>
+
+
+.. c:function:: int munmap( void *start, size_t length )
+ :name: dmx-munmap
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``start``
+ Address of the mapped buffer as returned by the
+ :ref:`mmap() <dmx-mmap>` function.
+
+``length``
+ Length of the mapped buffer. This must be the same value as given to

+
+Unmaps a previously with the :ref:`mmap() <dmx-mmap>` function mapped
+buffer and frees it, if possible.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success :ref:`munmap() <dmx-munmap>` returns 0, on failure -1 and the
+``errno`` variable is set appropriately:
+
+EINVAL
+ The ``start`` or ``length`` is incorrect, or no buffers have been
+ mapped yet.
