This reverts commit bbc2976868.
This change seems to be at odds with the non-owning part semantics of
MlirOperation in C API. Since downstream clients can only take and
return MlirOperation, it does not sound correct to force all returns of
MlirOperation transfer ownership. Specifically, this makes it impossible
for downstreams to implement IR-traversing functions that, e.g., look at
neighbors of an operation.
The following patch triggers the exception, and there does not seem to
be an alternative way for a downstream binding writer to express this:
