I think if you open fd3 here an auth it with fd1 ...

and then check whether fd1 is still authenticated (and fail if so) it
should work as a testcase. Converting it over to igt would be trivial, I
can do that if you want. We also already have auth testcases in igt, so
should be at most a bit of copypasting to get it together.

Or did I miss a needed detail in how to repro this?
