If dma-buf don't want userspace users to touch the dmabuf buffer,
it seems we should add this restriction into dma_buf_ops.mmap,
not in this IOCTL:DMA_BUF_SET_NAME.

With this restriction, we can only know the kernel users of the dmabuf
by attachments.
However, for many userspace users, such as userpsace users of dma_heap,
they also need to mark the usage of dma-buf, and they don't care about
who attached to this dmabuf, and seems it's no meaning to be waiting for
IOCTL:DMA_BUF_SET_NAME rather than mmap.

Sounds valid to me, but I have no idea why this restriction was added in the first place.

Can you double check the git history and maybe identify when that was added? Mentioning this change in the commit message then might make things a bit easier to understand.

Thanks,
Christian.
