With the drm device model that we've slowly evolved over the past few
years master status essentially controls access to display resources,
and nothing else. Since that's a pure access permission check drivers
should have no need at all to track additional state on a per file
basis.

Aside: For cleanup and restoring kernel-internal clients the grand
plan is to move everyone over to drm_client and
drm_master_internal_acquire/release, like the generic fbdev code
already does. That should get rid of most ->lastclose implementations,
and I think also subsumes any processing vmwgfx does in
master_set/drop.
