This looks pretty solid, but I think there's one gap where we can still
race. Scenario.

Process A has a drm fd with master rights and two threads:
- thread 1 does a long-running display operation (like a modeset or
  whatever)
- thread 2 does a drop-master

Then we start a new process B, which acquires master in drm_open (there is
no other one left). This is like setmaster ioctl, but your
DRM_MASTER_FLUSH bit doesn't work there.

The other thing is that for modeset stuff (which this all is) srcu is
probably massive overkill, and a simple rwsem should be good enough too.
Maybe even better, since the rwsem guarantees that no new reader can start
once you try to acquire the write side.

Finally, and this is a bit a bikeshed: I don't like much how
DRM_MASTER_FLUSH leaks the need of these very few places into the very
core drm_ioctl function. One idea I had was to use task_work in a special
function, roughly

void master_flush()
{
	down_write(master_rwsem);
	up_write(master_rwms);
}
void drm_master_flush()
{
	init_task_work(fpriv->master_flush_work, master_flush)
	task_work_add(fpriv->master_flush_work);
	/* if task_work_add fails we're exiting, at which point the lack
	 * of master flush doesn't matter);
}

And maybe put a comment above the function explaining why and how this
works.

We could even do a drm_master_unlock_and_flush helper, since that's really
what everyone wants, and it would make it very clear which master state
changes need this flush. Instead of setting a flag bit in an ioctl table
very far away ...

Thoughts?
