Dave Airlie 219b47339c drm/prime: keep a reference from the handle to exported dma-buf (v6)
Currently we have a problem with this:
1. i915: create gem object
2. i915: export gem object to prime
3. radeon: import gem object
4. close prime fd
5. radeon: unref object
6. i915: unref object

i915 has an imported object reference in its file priv, that isn't
cleaned up properly until fd close. The reference gets added at step 2,
but at step 6 we don't have enough info to clean it up.

The solution is to take a reference on the dma-buf when we export it,
and drop the reference when the gem handle goes away.

So when we export a dma_buf from a gem object, we keep track of it
with the handle, we take a reference to the dma_buf. When we close
the handle (i.e. userspace is finished with the buffer), we drop
the reference to the dma_buf, and it gets collected.

This patch isn't meant to fix any other problem or bikesheds, and it doesn't
fix any races with other scenarios.

v1.1: move export symbol line back up.

v2: okay I had to do a bit more, as the first patch showed a leak
on one of my tests, that I found using the dma-buf debugfs support,
the problem case is exporting a buffer twice with the same handle,
we'd add another export handle for it unnecessarily, however
we now fail if we try to export the same object with a different gem handle,
however I'm not sure if that is a case I want to support, and I've
gotten the code to WARN_ON if we hit something like that.

v2.1: rebase this patch, write better commit msg.
v3: cleanup error handling, track import vs export in linked list,
these two patches were separate previously, but seem to work better
like this.
v4: danvet is correct, this code is no longer useful, since the buffer
better exist, so remove it.
v5: always take a reference to the dma buf object, import or export.
(Imre Deak contributed this originally)
v6: square the circle, remove import vs export tracking now
that there is no difference
