Once something had been put into descriptor table, the only thing you
can do with it is returning descriptor to userland - you can't withdraw
it on subsequent failure exit, etc. You certainly can't count upon
it staying in the same slot of descriptor table - another thread
could've played with close(2)/dup2(2)/whatnot.
drm_gem_prime_handle_to_fd() creates a dmabuf, allocates a descriptor
and attaches dmabuf's file to it (the last two steps are done
in dma_buf_fd()). That's nice when all you are going to do is
passing a descriptor to userland. If you just need to work with the
resulting object or have something else to be done that might fail,
drm_gem_prime_handle_to_fd() is racy.
The problem is analogous to one with anon_inode_getfd(), and solution
is similar to what anon_inode_getfile() provides.
Add drm_gem_prime_handle_to_dmabuf() - the "set dmabuf up" parts of
drm_gem_prime_handle_to_fd() without the descriptor-related ones.
Instead of inserting into descriptor table and returning the file
descriptor it just returns the struct file.
drm_gem_prime_handle_to_fd() becomes a wrapper for it. Other users
will be introduced in the next commit.
