dma-buf/fence: Fix lock inversion within dma-fence-array
[ Upstream commit 03e4e0a9e02cf703da331ff6cfd57d0be9bf5692 ]
Ages ago Rob Clark noted,
"Currently with fence-array, we have a potential deadlock situation. If
we fence_add_callback() on an array-fence, the array-fence's lock is
acquired first, and in it's ->enable_signaling() callback, it will install
cbs on it's array-member fences, so the array-member's lock is acquired
second.
But in the signal path, the array-member's lock is acquired first, and
the array-fence's lock acquired second."
Rob proposed either extensive changes to dma-fence to unnest the
fence-array signaling, or to defer the signaling onto a workqueue. This
is a more refined version of the later, that should keep the latency
of the fence signaling to a minimum by using an irq-work, which is
executed asap.
