Maybe cache the latest returned handle in the obj(after 
drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle), and clear it when that handle been deleted 
in drm_gem_handle_delete()?

Something like:
drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle
   handle = drm_prime_lookup_buf_handle(buf)
   obj = obj_from_handle(handle)
   if !obj->primary_handle
     obj->primary_handle = handle
   return obj->primary_handle

Or maybe limit GEM obj with a single lifetime handle?
