I fear that  this won't solve the issue completely and keeps open a small race.

I don't like the current destruction path either. It really looks like export_dma_buf
should be unset when the exported buffer is closed in the original file. Anything else is racy.
Especially setting export_dma_buf to NULL won't work with the current delayed fput semantics.

So to me it seems instead we should do something like this:

- dmabuf_release callback is a noop, no ref is held by the dma-buf.
- attach and detach ops increase reference by 1*.

- when the buffer is exported, export_dma_buf is set by core code and kept around
  alive until the gem object is closed.

- dma_buf_put is not called by import function. This reference removed as part
  of gem object close instead.

*) Lockdep will rightfully hate this as it reopens a locking inversion, some solution for that is needed.

Maybe a post detach callback for dma-buf with all locks dropped would be best here?
Other way would be to schedule delayed work with the sole purpose of unreffing in the detach op,
similar to how atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock works.
