Also quick doc request: We do have a bit of overview documentation for
prime here about specifically this lifetime fun, and why there's a chain
of references and hence a distinction between imported foreign dma-buf and
re-imported native dma-buf:

https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/drm-mm.html#reference-counting-for-gem-drivers

I think it would be good to augment this with more links to functions
(like this one recently added and fixed in this patch here) and struct
members to that overview. And maybe also link from key function and struct
functions back to that overview doc. Otherwise I think the next person
will get confused by this rather tricky code again and break a corner
cases.

Thanks, Sima
