drm: Release filp before global lock

Browse Source 
The file is not part of the global drm resource and can be released
prior to take the global mutex to drop the open_count (and potentially
close) the drm device. As the global mutex is indeed global, not only
within the device but across devices, a slow file release mechanism can
bottleneck the entire system.

However, inside drm_close_helper() there are a number of dev->driver
callbacks that take the drm_device as the first parameter... Worryingly
some of those callbacks may be (implicitly) depending on the global
mutex.

v2: Drop the debug message for the open-count, it's included with the
drm_file_free() debug message -- and for good measure make that up as
reading outside of the mutex.

v3: Separate the calling of the filp cleanup outside of
drm_global_mutex into a new drm_release_noglobal() hook, so that we can
phase the transition. drm/savage relies on the global mutex, and there
may be more, so be cautious.
