I don't have USE_RENDERNODE defined in config.h, so find_render_node()
is returning NULL, which makes dev->render_node point to dev->master_node,
and thus makes intel_get_client_fd open the /dev/dri/card0 node a second
time (when using non suid-root xorg the first time it was opened by
systemd-logind and the fd was passed from systemd-logind to xf86-video-intel
by the server).

Do we really want a second open in this case, maybe intel_get_client_fd
should detect that render_node == master_node and re-use the master fd
in that case ?
