This is completely broken.  Don't ever use that pattern.  Once something
is in descriptor table, that's _it_.  You are already past the point of
no return and there is no way to clean up.

In ABIs like that (and struct containing descriptor *is* a bad ABI design)
solution is
	* allocate a descriptor
	* do everything that might fail, including copy_to_user()/put_user(),
etc.
	* if failed, release unused descriptor and do fput(), if you already
have a struct file reference that needs to be released.
	* FINALLY, when nothing no failures are possible, fd_install() the
sucker in place.

And yes, dma_buf_fd() encourages that kind of braindamage.  It's tolerable
only in one case - when we are about to return descriptor number directly
as return value of syscall and really can't fail anymore.  Not the case
here.
