[PATCH 2/3] drm: clarify lifetime/locking for drm_master's lease fields

From: Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi
Date: Thu Jul 22 2021 - 05:30:24 EST


In particular, we make it clear that &drm_device.mode_config.idr_mutex
protects the lease idr and list structures for drm_master. The lessor
field itself doesn't need to be protected as it doesn't change after
it's set in drm_lease_create.

Additionally, we add descriptions for the lifetime of lessors and
leases to make it easier to reason about them.
