So this tests something different than what patch description states.
You are testing that there is no "recursive" grabbing happening (an API
could be designed to allow the same handle grab device several times).
This is a good and useful test, but you do want to also use 2nd separate
handle to see that it gets -EBUSY as well. And ideally we should have
another test verifying that the 2nd handle can successfully grab the
device once the first handle releases it.

Thanks.
