[PATCH v3 3/9] drm: check for null master in drm_is_current_master_locked

There is a window after calling drm_master_release, and before a file
is freed, where drm_file can have is_master set to true, but both the
drm_file and drm_device have no master.

This could result in wrongly approving permissions in
drm_is_current_master_locked. Add a check that fpriv->master is
non-NULl to guard against this scenario.
