That is the sticky part of the move notify API.

If you do the attach_dynamic you have to have an ops with move_notify.

(https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.13-rc7/source/drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c#L730)

If you don't have that, i.e. just the pin interface, the attach will be
rejected, and you will not get the callbacks.

So I think that the only thing we can do for now is to dop the locking and add the 

assert_object_held();
