There's no use in dma-resv.c that can be converted to guards. I gave
dma-buf.c a try, but just like for panthor, I don't really like the fact
it's halfway through (other locks still use manual locking), so I'd be
tempted to convert everything at once for consistency. If you're fine
with that, I can give this a try.

Looks like the test cases all validate that dma_resv_lock(x, NULL)
returns 0. If I were to convert those to guard(dma_resv)(), these checks
would be gone. Is that okay with you?
