Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi 869e76f7a9 drm: avoid circular locks in drm_mode_getconnector
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:

======================================================

5.13.0-rc7-CI-CI_DRM_10254+ #1 Not tainted

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
