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.
