[PATCH v2 0/7] drm: Revert general use of struct drm_gem_object.dma_buf

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Revert the use of drm_gem_object.dma_buf back to .import_attach->dmabuf
in the affected places. Separates references to imported and exported DMA
bufs within a GEM object; as before.

The dma_buf field in struct drm_gem_object is not stable over the object
instance's lifetime. The field becomes NULL when user space releases the
final GEM handle on the buffer object. This resulted in a NULL-pointer
deref.

Workarounds in commit 5307dce878d4 ("drm/gem: Acquire references on GEM
handles for framebuffers") and commit f6bfc9afc751 ("drm/framebuffer:
Acquire internal references on GEM handles") only solved the problem
partially. They especially don't work for buffer objects without a DRM
framebuffer associated.

v2:
- extended commit messages (Sima)
- drop the GEM-handle changes to be resolved separately
