We can free this buffer even outside of the lock with out any issues.
This is just a user passed name copied into local buffer yet to assign
to dmabuf->name.

Your suggestion below looks clean, but what I am still not sure is that
is there any condition like "there should be no attachments to the
exported dmabuf before assigning the name" -- If yes, then _resv_lock
and name_lock should be nested while assigning the name which otherwise
breaks under below scenario:

P1					P2

buf_set_name() called and
no attachments to this dmabuf
yet.
				attaches to the exported dmabuf by P1.

				Say it tries to get the name with the
				assumption that name is already set.
Now it tries to
change the name under
just name_lock

In the above case P2 didn't get any name of the exported dmabuf despite
name is set.


If not, then I can give V3 with the suggested changes..
