Subject: [PATCH 1/3] drm: use the lookup lock in drm_is_current_master

Inside drm_is_current_master, using the outer drm_device.master_mutex
to protect reads of drm_file.master makes the function prone to creating
lock hierarchy inversions. Instead, we can use the
drm_file.master_lookup_lock that sits at the bottom of the lock
hierarchy.
