drm: Fix authentication kernel crash
If the master tries to authenticate a client using drm_authmagic and
that client has already closed its drm file descriptor,
either wilfully or because it was terminated, the
call to drm_authmagic will dereference a stale pointer into kmalloc'ed memory
and corrupt it.
Typically this results in a hard system hang.
This patch fixes that problem by removing any authentication tokens
(struct drm_magic_entry) open for a file descriptor when that file
descriptor is closed.
