Jason Ekstrand e7aca5031a drm/syncobj: Allow wait for submit and signal behavior (v5)
Vulkan VkFence semantics require that the application be able to perform
a CPU wait on work which may not yet have been submitted.  This is
perfectly safe because the CPU wait has a timeout which will get
triggered eventually if no work is ever submitted.  This behavior is
advantageous for multi-threaded workloads because, so long as all of the
threads agree on what fences to use up-front, you don't have the extra
cross-thread synchronization cost of thread A telling thread B that it
has submitted its dependent work and thread B is now free to wait.

Within a single process, this can be implemented in the userspace driver
by doing exactly the same kind of tracking the app would have to do
using posix condition variables or similar.  However, in order for this
to work cross-process (as is required by VK_KHR_external_fence), we need
to handle this in the kernel.

This commit adds a WAIT_FOR_SUBMIT flag to DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_WAIT which
instructs the IOCTL to wait for the syncobj to have a non-null fence and
then wait on the fence.  Combined with DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_RESET, you can
easily get the Vulkan behavior.

v2:
 - Fix a bug in the invalid syncobj error path
 - Unify the wait-all and wait-any cases
v3:
 - Unify the timeout == 0 case a bit with the timeout > 0 case
 - Use wait_event_interruptible_timeout
v4:
 - Use proxy fence
v5:
 - Revert to a combination of v2 and v3
 - Don't use proxy fences
 - Don't use wait_event_interruptible_timeout because it just adds an
   extra layer of callbacks
