fd_install() moves the reference given to it into the file descriptor table
of the current process. If the current process is multithreaded, then
immediately after fd_install(), another thread can close() the file
descriptor and cause the file's resources to be cleaned up.
Since the reference to "lessee" is held by the file, we must not access
"lessee" after the fd_install() call.
As far as I can tell, to reach this codepath, the caller must have an open
file descriptor to a DRI device in master mode. I'm not sure what the
requirements for that are.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
