In drm_is_current_master_locked, accessing drm_file.master should be protected by either drm_file.master_lookup_lock or drm_device.master_mutex. This was previously awkward to assert with lockdep. Following patch ("locking/lockdep: Provide lockdep_assert{,_once}() helpers"), this assertion is now convenient. So we add in the assertion and explain this lock design in the kerneldoc.
