drm: serialize drm_file.master with a new spinlock
Currently, drm_file.master pointers should be protected by drm_device.master_mutex when being dereferenced. This is because drm_file.master is not invariant for the lifetime of drm_file. If drm_file is not the creator of master, then drm_file.is_master is false, and a call to drm_setmaster_ioctl will invoke drm_new_set_master, which then allocates a new master for drm_file and puts the old master. Thus, without holding drm_device.master_mutex, the old value of drm_file.master could be freed while it is being used by another concurrent process. However, it is not always possible to lock drm_device.master_mutex to dereference drm_file.master. Through the fbdev emulation code, this might occur in a deep nest of other locks. But drm_device.master_mutex is also the outermost lock in the nesting hierarchy, so this leads to potential deadlocks. To address this, we introduce a new spin lock at the bottom of the lock hierarchy that only serializes drm_file.master. With this change, the value of drm_file.master changes only when both drm_device.master_mutex and drm_file.master_lookup_lock are held. Hence, any process holding either of those locks can ensure that the value of drm_file.master will not change concurrently. Since no lock depends on the new drm_file.master_lookup_lock, when drm_file.master is dereferenced, but drm_device.master_mutex cannot be held, we can safely protect the master pointer with drm_file.master_lookup_lock.
