This introduces an optional export() callback for GEM objects, which is
used to implement the drm_gem_object_funcs->export function.

Then this should perhaps be called leak()? At least if we’re following the std nomenclature.

DmaBuf objects created with drm_gem_dmabuf_export() are unique, e.g. if you
call the function twice you have two DmaBufs - not two references to the same
DmaBuf. Since we don't implement Clone on DmaBuf, we're also the only one who
could hold a reference to the respective dma_buf::DmaBuf.
Note that this is unlike SGTables with shmem, where you only have references
to a single shared SGTable for each gem object that's created dynamically.

Nope, into_raw() is correct actually! FWIW: I had to double check this against
the std, it goes like this:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/boxed/struct.Box.html#method.into_raw
into_raw() provides Box<T, A> → *mut T
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/boxed/struct.Box.html#method.leak
leak<'a>() provides Box<T, A> -> &'a mut T
Since we're returning *mut here, it should be into_raw().
