One master for the device, on the struct drm_device, as opposed to hidden
behind the first of three minors, makes sense.

You could take the opportunity to make this a bit simpler:

	if (!READ_ONCE(dev->master)) {
		int ret;

		ret = 0;
		mutex_lock(&dev->master_mutex);
		if (!dev->master)
			ret = drm_new_master(dev);
		mutex_unlock(&dev->master_mutex);
		if (ret)
			return ret;
	}

	file_priv->master = drm_master_get(dev->master);
	return 0;

Just to straighten out the kref dance.

This still makes me uneasy. This is not equivalent to dropmaster_ioctl
and subsequent setmaster_ioctl will fail as dev->master is still
assigned (but the owner has gone).
