Guys I'm getting tired of NAKing those incorrect reference count analysis.

The dma_buf_put() in the error handling of drm_gem_prime_import_dev() 
function is balanced with the get_dma_buf() in the same function 
directly above.

This is for the creating a GEM object for a DMA-buf imported from other 
device use case and certainly correct.

The various dma_buf_put() in drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle() is balanced 
with the dma_buf_get(prime_fd) at the beginning of the function.

This is for extracting the DMA-buf from the file descriptor and keeping 
a reference to it while we are busy importing it (e.g. to prevent a race 
when somebody changes the fd at the same time).

As far as I can see this is correct as well.

Regards,
Christian.
