Oh maybe we have a naming confusion: the _locked is the one where the
caller must grab the lock already, whereas drm_is_current_master would
grab the master_mutex internally to do the check. The one in
drm_framebuffer.c looks like it'd need the internal one since there's no
other need to grab the master_mutex.
