drm: new helper: drm_gem_prime_handle_to_dmabuf()
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.
