Subject: [PATCH v6 2/4] drm: avoid circular locks in __drm_mode_object_find

In a future patch, _drm_lease_held will dereference drm_file->master
only after making a call to drm_file_get_master which increments the
reference count of drm_file->master while holding a lock on
drm_device.master_mutex.

In preparation for this, the call to _drm_lease_held should be moved
out from the section locked by &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex. This
avoids inverting the lock hierarchy for
&dev->master_mutex --> &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex
