This feels a bit brittle, because this case should only be possible when
called from drm_gem_prime_handle_to_dmabuf and not from
drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle() (where it would indicate a real race and
hence bug in our code).

I think  drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle() should WARN_ON if it hits this case. 

Otherwise yes this is the functional change that I've missed :-/ Note that
there's no race in the original code, because it's all protected by the
file_priv->prime.lock. Which means I think you're claim that you've only
widened the race with your patch is wrong.

Cheers, Sima
