I was going to suggest pushing the unlock call further up - after the
drm_lease_create call. Although that would make the error path rather
messy, so let's keep it as-is.

Move the lock and assignment before the DRM_DEBUG_LEASE, just like
you've done in the list ioctl.

With this fix, the patch is;
