That won't work. The handle is per fpriv, but the same object is used by 
multiple fpriv instances.

What we could maybe do is to prevent adding multiple lockup structures 
when there is already one, but that's not something I can easily judge.

Daniel seems to be either very busy or on vacation otherwise he would 
have chimed in by now.

Anyway, your patch seems to at least fix the of hand memory leak, so 
feel free to add my rb to the v2 and push it to drm-misc-fixes for now.

Thanks,
Christian.
