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

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
