The kernel actually doesn't bother with this, i.e. an open on an flink
name will always create a new handle. Given that it was a major pita to
get the prime reimporting going (due to a pile of funny lifetime issues
around reference loops and some assorted locking fun) I'm not volunteering
to fix this ;-) And I also think that a piece of userspace which both
flink-opens and prime imports on the same buffer gets both pieces.

Otoh this can't hurt either, so if you want to stick with this hunk maybe
add a small comment saying that the kernel lies. Or just remove it. Either
way:

Aside: I think drm is the only subsystem that goes out of it's way to
ensure a unique relationship between dmabuf and other handles and
underlying objects. If you throw v4l into the mix (e.g. by building a
gstreamer pipe that feeds into an egl image or so) I expect some fun to
happen. Otoh no open-source v4l driver for intel socs, so lalala ;-)
