Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi 5eff9585de drm: avoid blocking in drm_clients_info's rcu section
Inside drm_clients_info, the rcu_read_lock is held to lock
pid_task()->comm. However, within this protected section, a call to
drm_is_current_master is made, which involves a mutex lock in a future
patch. However, this is illegal because the mutex lock might block
while in the RCU read-side critical section.

Since drm_is_current_master isn't protected by rcu_read_lock, we avoid
this by moving it out of the RCU critical section.

The following report came from intel-gfx ci's
igt@debugfs_test@read_all_entries testcase:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
