Hi, again!

I've looked through the code again and have some answers to your
questions. Will post an updated patch soon.

No. The locking here is, as you say, unneeded. drm_minor::master is
protected by master_mutex.
I'll remove, and while doing that, I'll also remove the unneeded locking
around
priv->authenticated = 1.

It's unneeded, so this should be OK. As for drm_file::master, it should
be considered immutable, except for
drm_file open() and release() where nobody is racing us.

Yes.

No change needed.
