[PATCH v2] drm/drm_lease: Prevent deadlock in case drm_lease_create() fails

This case can been seen when creating the lease with the same objects passed.

[  605.515097] 2 locks held by testapp/3337:
[  605.519027]  #0:  (&dev->mode_config.idr_mutex){......}, at: [<ffff0000085f1664>] drm_mode_create_lease_ioctl+0x384/0x858
[  605.530045]  #1:  (&dev->mode_config.idr_mutex){......}, at: [<ffff0000085f11bc>] drm_lease_destroy+0x2c/0x110

Which was causing the process to hang:

[  605.398827] [<ffff0000080856cc>] __switch_to+0x94/0xa8
[  605.404030] [<ffff000008c05d00>] __schedule+0x1b0/0x698
[  605.409322] [<ffff000008c06224>] schedule+0x3c/0xa8

[  605.437845] [<ffff0000085f175c>] drm_mode_create_lease_ioctl+0x47c/0x858
[  605.444612] [<ffff0000085d4460>] drm_ioctl+0x198/0x448
[  605.449811] [<ffff000008201134>] do_vfs_ioctl+0xa4/0x748
[  605.455192] [<ffff000008201864>] SyS_ioctl+0x8c/0xa0
[  605.460216] [<ffff000008082f4c>] __sys_trace_return+0x0/0x4

drm_mode_create_lease_ioctl() calls drm_lease_create() which acquires a lock
on dev->mode_config.idr_mutex. In case of failure, drm_lease_create() calls 
drm_master_put() which in turn tries to acquire the same lock when calling
drm_lease_destroy(). 

v2: - Reverse the order at exit in case of fail, so that unlocking takes place
before dropping the reference.
    - Include detail information about deadlock (Daniel Vetter)
