Uh very annoying. One of the callers of this is the atomic ioctl,
where we're calling this while holding drm_modeset_lock. The nesting
hierarchy is, from outermost lock to innermost: dev->master_mutex ->
dev->mode_config.mutex -> drm_modeset_lock. So I think we'll again
have an inversion, just moved it a bit :-(

But I'm also not 100% sure, so maybe type it up and see what happens?
Otherwise I think we need to figure out a solution for how we can
check leases without having to take the dev->master_mutex that
serializes a lot more things ... I think the fundamental problem we
have here is that dev->master_mutex serves 2 purposes: a) protecting
the pointers and just data consistency and b) synchronizing against
concurrent master changes where we think that's required. It's the
latter (through the fbdev emulation code) that causes all the
inversion problems, a) it's could easily nest very deeply in other
locks.

Irrespective of all this I think this change here makes sense since in
untangels the master stuff from the lookup idr, and that's always
good. Maybe do this hunk as a separate patch, and I'll apply that as
prep work?
