Currently, dma-buf maps can only be used by the file they were registered with. This means that we can't open a new file, even if it comes from the same subsystem and point to the same block device and use it with an old dma-buf registration. That would be too restrictive for upcoming filsystem support, so lift it now and allow reusing contexts between files pointing to the same NVMe, even if they refer to different partitions.
To do that, we add a tag representing for each file, save it from the file passed during registration and use it to reject files which tags don't match it. Tags are set by subsystems creating files, should be unique and represent the instance of the subsystem.
