In drm_is_current_master_locked, accessing drm_file.master should be
protected by either drm_file.master_lookup_lock or
drm_device.master_mutex. This was previously awkward to assert with
lockdep.
Following patch ("locking/lockdep: Provide lockdep_assert{,_once}()
helpers"), this assertion is now convenient. So we add in the
assertion and explain this lock design in the kerneldoc.

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.
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.
