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!
