This feels a lot like hand-rolling kobject debugging. If you want to do
this then I think adding kobject debug support to
dma_buf/dma_buf_attachment would be better than hand-rolling something
bespoke here.

Also on the patch itself: You don't need the trylock. For correctly
working code non one else can get at the dma-buf, so no locking needed to
iterate through the attachment list. For incorrect code the kernel will be
on fire pretty soon anyway, trying to do locking won't help :-) And
without the trylock we can catch more bugs (e.g. if you also forgot to
unlock and not just forgot to detach).
