[PATCH 3/5] drm: Possible lock priority escalation.

If an application that has a driver lock created, wants the lock the
kernel context, it is not allowed to. If the call to drm_lock has a
context of 0, it is rejected. If you set the context to _DRM_LOCK_CONT
then call drm lock, it will pass the context == DRM_KERNEL_CONTEXT checks.
But as the DRM_LOCK_CONT bits are not part of the context id this allows
operations on the DRM_KERNEL_CONTEXT.
