A drive-by suggestion - feel free to ignore.

The "return early" approach seems great IMHO. The code will be
shorter, indentation - less, no {}/else to track plus overall it seems
clearer.
Namely:

   result = idr_find(&fpriv->bo_list_handles, id);

   if (!result || !kref_get_unless_zero(&result->refcount)) {
         rcu_read_unlock();
         return NULL;
   }

   rcu_read_unlock();
   mutex_lock(&result->lock);
   return result;
}
