I think this should only be called when revoked is true, otherwise this will be calling move_notify on the already revoked dmabuf attachments.

This case is protected by "if (priv->revoked)" check both in vfio_pci_dma_buf_map and vfio_pci_dma_buf_attach. They will prevent DMABUF recreation if revoked is false.

The point was to call it when revoked becomes false as well, as that gives the importing driver an opportunity to restore any mapping it had.
