In preparation for a future patch to take a lock on
drm_device.master_mutex inside drm_is_current_master(), we first move
the call to drm_is_current_master() in drm_mode_getconnector out from the
section locked by &dev->mode_config.mutex. This avoids creating a
circular lock dependency.
Failing to avoid this lock dependency produces the following lockdep
splat:
