drm_master_release can be called on a drm_file without a master, which
results in a null ptr dereference of file_priv->master->magic_map. The
three cases are:

1. Error path in drm_open_helper
  drm_open():
    drm_open_helper():
      drm_master_open():
        drm_new_set_master(); <--- returns -ENOMEM,
                                   drm_file.master not set
      drm_file_free():
        drm_master_release(); <--- NULL ptr dereference
                                   (file_priv->master->magic_map)

2. Error path in mock_drm_getfile
  mock_drm_getfile():
    anon_inode_getfile(); <--- returns error, drm_file.master not set
    drm_file_free():
      drm_master_release(); <--- NULL ptr dereference
                                 (file_priv->master->magic_map)

3. In drm_client_close, as drm_client_open doesn't set up a master

drm_file.master is set up in drm_open_helper through the call to
drm_master_open, so we mirror it with a call to drm_master_release in
drm_close_helper, and remove drm_master_release from drm_file_free to
avoid the null ptr dereference.
