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 inverts the lock hierarchy of
drm_global_mutex --> master_rwsem.
To avoid this, we do some prep work to grab the drm_global_mutex
before checking for ioctl permissions.

Maybe have a local bool locked_ioctl for this so it's extremely clear it's
the same condition in both?

Thanks for the suggestion and review. Sounds good, I'll update and send
out a new version.
