In a future patch, _drm_lease_held will dereference drm_file->master
only after making a call to drm_file_get_master. This will increment
the reference count of drm_file->master while holding onto a new
drm_file.master_lock.
In preparation for this, the call to _drm_lease_held should be moved
out from the section locked by &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex. This
avoids creating new lock hierarchies between
&dev->mode_config.idr_mutex and &drm_file->master_lock.
