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.

+/*
+ * In the olden days the SET/DROP_MASTER ioctls used to return EACCES when
+ * CAP_SYS_ADMIN was not set. This was used to prevent rogue applications
+ * from becoming master and/or failing to release it.
+ *
+ * At the same time, the first client (for a given VT) is _always_ master.
+ * Thus in order for the ioctls to succeed, one had to _explicitly_ run the
+ * application as root or flip the setuid bit.
+ *
+ * If the CAP_SYS_ADMIN was missing, no other client could become master...
+ * EVER :-( Leading to a) the graphics session dying badly or b) a completely
+ * locked session.
+ *
+ *
+ * As some point systemd-logind was introduced to orchestrate and delegate
+ * master as applicable. It does so by opening the fd and passing it to users
+ * while in itself logind a) does the set/drop master per users' request and
+ * b)  * implicitly drops master on VT switch.
+ *
+ * Even though logind looks like the future, there are a few issues:
+ *  - some platforms don't have equivalent (Android, CrOS, some BSDs) so
+ * root is required _solely_ for SET/DROP MASTER.
+ *  - applications may not be updated to use it,
+ *  - any client which fails to drop master* can DoS the application using
+ * logind, to a varying degree.
+ *
+ * * Either due missing CAP_SYS_ADMIN or simply not calling DROP_MASTER.
+ *
+ *
+ * Here we implement the next best thing:
+ *  - ensure the logind style of fd passing works unchanged, and
+ *  - allow a client to drop/set master, iff it is/was master at a given point
+ * in time.
+ *
+ * Note: DROP_MASTER cannot be free for all, as an arbitrator user could:
+ *  - DoS/crash the arbitrator - details would be implementation specific
+ *  - open the node, become master implicitly and cause issues
+ *
+ * As a result this fixes the following when using root-less build w/o logind
+ * - startx
+ * - weston
+ * - various compositors based on wlroots
