Adding the above in a FIXME comment right before the callt to
resv_obj_wait might be a good interim idea. But yes, given that prime
buffer sharing always resulted in lockdep unhappiness around struct_mutex,
horrible tearing and other sad things I don't think a temporary WARN_ON is
all that bad. Acked.
