[PATCH v3 9/9] drm: avoid races with modesetting rights

In drm_client_modeset.c and drm_fb_helper.c,
drm_master_internal_{acquire,release} are used to avoid races with DRM
userspace. These functions hold onto drm_device.master_rwsem while
committing, and bail if there's already a master.

However, there are other places where modesetting rights can race. A
time-of-check-to-time-of-use error can occur if an ioctl that changes
the modeset has its rights revoked after it validates its permissions,
but before it completes.

There are four places where modesetting permissions can change:

- DROP_MASTER ioctl removes rights for a master and its leases

- REVOKE_LEASE ioctl revokes rights for a specific lease

- SET_MASTER ioctl sets the device master if the master role hasn't
been acquired yet

- drm_open which can create a new master for a device if one does not
currently exist

These races can be avoided using drm_device.master_rwsem: users that
perform modesetting should hold a read lock on the new
drm_device.master_rwsem, and users that change these permissions
should either hold a write lock, or should flush readers before
returning to userspace.
