Subject: [PATCH v3 7/9] drm: update global mutex lock in the ioctl handler
In a future patch, a read lock on drm_device.master_rwsem is
held in the ioctl handler before the check for ioctl
permissions. However, this produces the following lockdep splat:
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.14.0-rc6-CI-Patchwork_20831+ #1 Tainted: G U

kms_lease/1752 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff827bad88 (drm_global_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: drm_open+0x64/0x280
but task is already holding lock:
ffff88812e350108 (&dev->master_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at:
drm_ioctl_kernel+0xfb/0x1a0
which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:
Chain exists of:
drm_global_mutex --> &helper->lock --> &dev->master_rwsem
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&dev->master_rwsem);
lock(&helper->lock);
lock(&dev->master_rwsem);
lock(drm_global_mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
The lock hierarchy inversion happens because we grab the
drm_global_mutex while already holding on to master_rwsem. To avoid
this, we do some prep work to grab the drm_global_mutex before
checking for ioctl permissions.
At the same time, we update the check for the global mutex to use the
drm_dev_needs_global_mutex helper function.
