If userspace provides an offset, which doesn't match any of the registered 'cookies' (reported to userspace via separate v4l2 ioctl), an error is returned.

You are correct. IMHO the best solution in this case would be to add
following fix:

Then you can simply use non-buggy version of your function in
drivers/media/common/videobuf2/videobuf2-dma-sg.c.

I can send above as a formal patch if you want.

It is already handled in vb2_mmap(). Such call will be rejected.
