Random bikeshed, if you're bored: In newer code we've given ioctl
callbacks an _ioctl suffix, so they'r easier to spot. Could do that in a
follow-up if you want.

Hm if we're unlucky this might be the last reference (against nasty
userspace only), and that could then perhaps collide with us still holding
the lock. It looks like we're fine, the only thing that drm_master_put
might be locking is

mutex_lock(&dev->mode_config.idr_mutex);

through drm_lease_destroy(). We don't care about legacy drivers and hence
the dev->struct_mutex (plus that lock is a complete mess anyway).

Maybe another patch to add a might_lock to drm_master_put, just to be
safe?

Current modern drives only use this for modesetting rights, but this is
about anything which is exclusively owned by the drm_master. So maybe
reword to "synchronizes access rights to exclusive resources like
modesetting access".

With that clarified:

The other suggestions are for follow-up patches, if you feel like.
