    drm: rework SET_MASTER and DROP_MASTER perm handling · 45bc3d26
    Emil Velikov authored
    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.
