drm: rework SET_MASTER and DROP_MASTER perm handling
This commit reworks the permission handling of the two ioctls. In particular it enforced the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check only, if: - we're issuing the ioctl from process other than the one which opened the node, and - we are, or were master in the past This ensures that we: - do not regress the systemd-logind style of DRM_MASTER arbitrator - allow applications which do not use systemd-logind to drop their master capabilities (and regain them at later point) ... w/o running as root. See the comment above drm_master_check_perm() for more details. v1: - Tweak wording, fixup all checks, add igt test v2: - Add a few more comments, grammar nitpicks.
