People with drm master rights are allowed to pin enormous amounts of
memory (through pinning of display buffers) ... I think simply requiring
DRM_MASTER for the ioctl would be good enough. Atm anyone can abuse
createblob to waste memory, which is a bit much.

We haven't marked it with DRM_RENDER_ALLOW, so I think this is just an
oversight really. I'll type a patch.
