drm: don't de-authenticate clients on master-close
If an active DRM-Master closes its device, we deauthenticate all clients on that master. However, if an inactive DRM-Master closes its device, we do nothing. This is quite inconsistent and breaks several scenarios: 1) If this was used as security mechanism, it fails horribly if a master closes a device while VT switched away. Furthermore, none of the few drivers using ->master_*() callbacks seems to require it, anyway. 2) If you spawn weston (or any other non-UMS compositor) in background while another compositor is active, both will get assigned to the same "drm_master" object. If the foreground compositor now exits, all clients of both the foreground AND background compositor will be de-authenticated leading to unexpected behavior. Stop this non-sense and keep clients authenticated. We don't do this when dropping DRM-Master (i.e., switching VTs) so don't do it on active-close either!
