Have you considered an option to have this flag on the dmabuf binding
itself? This will let us keep everything in ynl and not add a new socket
option. I think also semantically, this is a property of the binding
and not the socket? (not sure what's gonna happen if we have
autorelease=on and autorelease=off sockets receiving to the same
dmabuf)
