Self-import should already work (at least with the latest refcount
fixes merged). At least the tests to check both re-import on the same
drm fd and on a different all work as expected now.

Second, the dma_buf_attachment is _definitely_ the wrong place to do
this. If you need iommu mapping caching, that should happen at a lower
level (i.e. in the map_attachment callback somewhere of the exporter,
that's what the priv field in the attachment is for). Snatching away
the attachement from some random other import is certainly not the way
to go - attachements are _not_ refcounted!
