In addition to this change, I took a closer look at the CI logs for the Basic Acceptance Tests and noticed that another regression was introduced. The new patch 2 is a response to this.

btw since we now looked at all this in detail, can you perhaps do a
patch to update the kerneldoc for all the lease fields in struct
drm_master? I think moving them to the inline style and then adding
comments for each field how locking/lifetime rules work would be
really good. Since right now it's all fresh from for us.
