    drm: Move master pointer from drm_minor to drm_device · 95c081c1
    Daniel Vetter authored
    There can only be one current master, and it's for the overall device.
    Render/control minors don't support master-based auth at all.
    
    This simplifies the master logic a lot, at least in my eyes: All these
    additional pointer chases are just confusing.
    
    While doing the conversion I spotted some locking fail:
    - drm_lock/drm_auth check dev->master without holding the
      master_mutex. This is fallout from

          drm: Protect the master management with a drm_device::master_mutex v3
    
      but I honestly don't care one bit about those old legacy drivers
      using this.
    
    - debugfs name info should just grab master_mutex.
    
    - And the fbdev helper looked at it to figure out whether someone is
      using KMS. We just need a consistent value, so READ_ONCE. Aside: We
      should probably check if anyone has opened a control node too, but I
      guess current userspace doesn't really do that yet.
    
    v2: Balance locking, reported by Julia.
    
    v3: Rebase on top of Chris' oops fixes.
