protocols: attach gets its reverse — block detach, usb-transfer dma_detach

The kernel was always symmetric (dma_bind 51 / dma_unbind 52); the two
protocols that forward an attachment up the stack were one-way, so a live
client could grant a device reach into its buffer but never revoke it while
alive — exactly the one-way lifecycle the storage architecture's enforcement
section forbids. Death stays the mechanical backstop; detach is the living
process's path.

Both verbs are appended, so every existing number holds. The shape mirrors
attach precisely: the same region capability rides the cap slot again — the
kernel matches the region, so no layer retains anything between the calls
(the bus never kept the handle; now it never needs to).

fat's bring-up does attach -> detach -> attach, exercising both verbs
through the whole chain (fat -> storage -> bus -> kernel) on every boot: a
broken detach fails every fat case instead of lying dormant until the first
buffer replacement. Honest scope: the round trip proves the plumbing; unbind
semantics are the kernel iommu tests' (map/unmap/translationOf); the full
composition (detach then DMA faults) is a future iommu-fault extension.
