[PATCH v10 3/4] drm: lock drm_global_mutex earlier in the ioctl handler

[Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi <desmondcheongzx@gmail.com>]

In a future patch, a read lock on drm_device.master_rwsem is
held in the ioctl handler before the check for ioctl
permissions. However, this inverts the lock hierarchy of
drm_global_mutex --> master_rwsem.

To avoid this, we do some prep work to grab the drm_global_mutex
before checking for ioctl permissions.
