Makes sense, this was a small pain point when auditing the ioctl 
functions. I'll do this on a rainier day.

Sounds good.

I agree that we should be safe for now, since we're taking efforts to 
make master_rwsem an outer lock, especially after we take your later 
suggestion to remove the lock from drm_file_get_master and 
drm_is_current_master.
